Are you asking about Insurance Agencies (ie agents who will find a plan for you?) or actual Medical insurance companies (those who provide the plan services?)

Where in the States will you be living?.... no point giving advice for an agency in Alaska if you are living in California.....

In your last posts you said your wife was a US citizen ????

So it will either be California or Texas.

Typically you'd just use the state Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance portal, or the federal one if the state doesn't have their own, and you will see the range of ACA- approved health insurance options available to you. ..... I am certain that CA does have a portal, but not sure about Texas.

You can't live in the US "as a UK citizen", but anyone who is eligible to live in the US is eligble to buy ACA health insurance. You may have an issue using the portal before you have an SSN.

Do you have a visa application in process yet? ... Approval for an IR-1 (spouse visa) is going to take until late 2021 at best.

The California state healthcare website is

https://www.coveredca.com/

The Fed one is

https://www.healthcare.gov/

Both can give you an idea of what healthcare costs will be for you and wife.
