NWR: Health Insurance

Does anyone know where I can get health insurance when my employer doesn't offer it and not through the MA Health Connector?

Background:  I currently have health insurance through Harvard Pilgrim through the MA Health Connector.  Recently started going to counseling and my plan covers the first 3 visits and then after that it's subject to my $2,000 deductible out of pocket before they start paying 70% again.  $2,000 is a lot to pay!  So I tried to increase my plan but apparently I missed the renewal period by a few weeks.  I applied for a waiver/exception but they denied me (even though it's a higher premium therefore more money for them...go figure).  So I'm stuck...

TIA!

    I am self-employed and get it through Northeast Business Trust out of Braintree.  I am actually calling them today because once I am married I will have my wife's insurance. Woo hooo!

    You could always see if the counseler offers a payment plan for the uninsured, sometimes that works out to be cheaper than a deductible.

    The MA health connector seems to be the cheapest way to go from what i have researched. some companies offer ins benefits to couples that are not married. You could see if you FI could get you on his.
