Yes, definitely get it as young as you can. Mine is over $50 per month. It is higher due to my weight and won't cover me for breast cancer. If I got it 5 years sooner , I would have been lighter and would not have had the breast cancer exclusion. The older you are the more health problems crop up in yourself and family.

Before my sister died of breast cancer she gave me some advice about all this. She said it was better to have life insurance than health insurance if you need to pick between the two. She had health insurance, but no life and she was self employed.
