You're shopping around for health insurance on the internet and you come across a site that promises to send you multiple quotes from different carriers if you enter some basic information about yourself and provide your email and/or phone number.  Don't do it.  If yo do, you'll be besieged by phone calls and email that will carry on for months and you'll more than likely end up becoming very annoyed.  In most cases these sites are not insurance companies or brokers but lead generating sites, websites set up by companies who'll then sell your information to upwards of 8 brokers.  This is a very lucrative business and, as such, these lead companies can afford the paid positioning to place them at the top of health insurance searches.   Click down through a few of the search engine results to find a company that will give you this information anonymously.  For a good example, feel free to take a look at our brokerage website, www.hciohio.com, which we set up for people searching for health insurance information in the state of Ohio.  Remember, never provide contact information when you are simply shopping for health insurance online.
