I once needed to get my own health insurance plan for three months. I googled "short term health insurance" and went to one of the first websites I found. I put in my contact info ONCE. For the next six weeks I had maybe 75+ health insurance brokers calling me and texting me. Just blowing up my phone at all hours of the day. Some would try and make contact multiple times so I'd block their numbers from call and text. They would then switch phone numbers. I ended up having 50+ numbers on my block list. I was so frustrated I just decided to pay out of pocket for all my medical expenses those three months.
