Greetings,

DW and I are working through the issues involved in full-timing, and now we're trying to determine where to establish our new domicile.  As most of the full-time community has already determined the 3 states that are the most attractive for relocation are TX, FL and SD.  It's pretty easy to estimate most of the costs we will incur (sales/vehicle tax, registration, licensing fees, income taxes, mail forwarding, etc.) through some basic internet research.  

However, when it comes to health insurance costs/policies/programs available in each state I'm stumped.  I know we'll need insurance from a carrier licensed to operate within the state we choose to move to and we know we'll need a policy with good out-of-network coverage and that's where my knowledge ends.  I've tried to read every post on numerous forums regarding domicile selection and health insurance.  Most of the questions and answers are all similar in that they reference the fact that 'everyone's circumstances are different and you need to do your own research' - OK, got that.  

So where do we do our own research regarding health care?  The ACA just makes this even more complicated.  I've tried logging onto state health care exchanges but I can't provide all the info they require so I can't get any insurance quotes (I thought I could game the systems to research this - wrong).

Can anyone comment on what you've found?  Has anyone changed their domicile as a result of insurance choices?

Can anyone comment on which state has more choice? lower premiums? more liberal out-of-network rules?

Anyone care to offer any random advice/comments/sympathy/etc.?  

Regards, Brad
