Why Do I Need Health Insurance?
Because it just takes 1 …
1 kitchen accident … 1 fall … 1 jump off the swings … 1 lingering cough … 1 frightening diagnosis … to turn your world upside down … and throw you into debt.
Health insurance gives you coverage and peace of mind – and many people can find coverage for less than $10/month.
Plus – financial help may be available to help pay premiums! We can help find out if you qualify.
Do I Qualify for Health Insurance?
You qualify for coverage through the national health insurance marketplace (an online “store” to shop for insurance!) if you:
- Live in the U.S.
- Are a U.S. citizen, national or otherwise lawfully present
- Are not currently in jail or prison
Applying for health insurance will not affect your immigration status.
Unsure if you qualify? We can help! We can also see what else you may qualify for, such as Medicaid, CHIP and/or Medicare.
What if I Don’t Enroll?
Quite honestly, you’re taking a big risk.
Medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. Health insurance can help protect your physical, mental and financial health.
Your health – and your family’s health – can’t wait.
If you don’t have health insurance through another means, then you risk a lot. It’s not a matter of if a health emergency will come … it’s a matter of when. Health insurance helps you get treatment and care without significant debt.
There’s also a period called Special Enrollment, which allows you to enroll in or change insurance if you meet specific criteria through a life change, such as having a baby, losing insurance through an employer, or getting married or divorced.

Quite honestly, you’re taking a big risk.
Medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. Health insurance can help protect your physical health, mental health and financial health.
Plus – your health – and your family’s health – can’t wait. It’s too important.
If you don’t have health insurance through another means, such as a spouse or employer, then you risk a lot. It’s not a matter of if a health emergency will come … it’s often a matter of when. Health insurance helps you get the treatment and care you need without going into significant debt.
There’s also a period called Special Enrollment, which allows you to enroll in insurance outside of open enrollment if you meet specific criteria through a major life change, such as having a baby, losing insurance through an employer, or getting married or divorced.
