Full-plan prices were computed July 19, 2026 (GMS refreshed August 13, 2026) for someone leaving employer coverage, so 60–90-day conversion plans are included. No-medical-questions prices were computed July 19, 2026 for plans anyone can join at any time. A sample, not a quote — carriers reprice, and your age, family and start date change the price.
