I was in the very same situation you were—and about to get Tonik, when I talked to someone from allhealthplans.com. She informed me that Tonik doesn’t cover generics, which is actually a deal-breaker for those types of plans because you can (Heaven forfend) get terrible disease that requires tens of thousands of dollars of drugs per months—for which there is no generic—and you become screwed.
There are plenty of great options out there, especially in California (everything differs by state). I’ve got a great plan through Nationwide (that got transfered to HealtNet) that costs less than $100 a month and is actually pretty decent.
I’d really recommend talking to Diane at allhealthplans—their service is free (they get paid by the insurance companies) and thus it’s also unbiased. Diane was very knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve worked with her numerous times and recommended people to her and everyone’s been happy. You can email her at Diane AT allhealthplans DOT com. Let her know I sent you…
I have no affiliation with them. I’m just a happy customer
