== == Yes you can and in many cases you should. You will very often find that individual coverage, if you can qualify for it, is cheaper than adding dependents on to your company plan. Because company plans generally cover everyone regardless of health condition they must charge more knowing that some people will use a lot of medical care. Individual plans that require approval can deny coverage to those who they know will use a lot of care, thereby offering lower coverage to those who are healthier.

This is not true in ''all states'' since some guarantee coverage to everyone even on individual plans. It may not be fair either, but that is the way the system works in most states.

Can you purchase your own separate medical insurance if you don't like the one-and-only option offered by your husband's employer and can you each use either one or both simultaneously?

You can purchase your own medical insurance, its called and Individual policy and many insurance carriers sell them. With an individual medical policy, you have to qualify. (you don't have any significant medical problems or past medical history) Individual medical policys also have pre-existing clauses-- they can deny any/all medical services for a medical condition they determine began before your policy began. Pre-existing clauses are usually for the first 6 months. Most, not all insurance plans "coordinate benefits". For example, if both you and your husband had health insurance through your separate employers, your insurance would be primary and your husband's insurance would be secondary and vice versa for your husband. It can be different for an individual policy/plan. Health insurance is very expensive in this country so most people can't afford to buy individual medical insurance.
