Well, as you mentioned that your new employer does not offer you group health insurance, it seems you had the policy with your earlier employer. One option is that you can continue the same policy for 18 months through COBRA; or pick up some online platforms that will give you a fair idea of plans available to you. One of my friends faced the same trouble. He tried hCentive.com and quickly landed on a good plan.
