I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience buying health

I can't speak for the ACM, but I do have experience with its sister
organization, the IEEE. At one time health coverage through them was
a pretty good deal, but then got no better and then much worse than
what my insurance agent could find. Same story for term life
insurance, BTW.
If they're like the IEEE, the ACM probably just endorses some
privately-run insurance agency to handle this, not taking any active
interest in it themselves. Sort of like my IEEE credit card (no
longer says IEEE on it, just "Electrical Engineer") is issued by
Chase.
