Life happens. And sometimes, life might land you in the emergency room.
Or require a trip to the doctor.
And that’s scary enough.
And if you don’t have health insurance, those can bills add up fast.
There’s good news and there’s bad news.
The bad news: The Health Insurance Marketplaces don’t open until November 15th.
The good news: Certain life events could allow you to get covered now!
What’s that you say?
You’re getting married?
You’re getting divorced?
You’re having a baby or adopting?
Turning 26 and getting booted from your parent’s insurance?
Losing coverage you had through your job?
Finally graduating from college, but losing your student health plan?
Moving?
And if you’re fretting about costs -- don’t. Financial help is available.
And depending where you live and your income, you could even qualify for Medicaid.
You have 60 days from a life event to #GetCovered. So don’t put it off!
