Short-Term Insurance
Health Insurance Plans for a limited time period. The insurance coverage may be denied due to pre-existing conditions.
Did you know?
Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare lowers healthcare costs and insurance premiums. It is not a health insurance plan like Medicare or Medicaid. All the benefits of Obamacare are attached to insurance plans issued by private insurance companies.

| 1 | $20,783 – depends** |
| 2 | $28,208 – depends** |

If your income is above the maximum, you don’t qualify for the subsidy. If your income is below the minimum, you may be eligible for Medicaid.

HEALTH PLAN
with your doctor
Before you choose a health insurance plan, it is essential to make sure your doctor is in your plan’s network. Costs of medical services obtained out-of-network, in most situations, are not covered.

with your medication
Also, it is important to make sure how health insurance plans pay for medications. With some plans, you will pay fixed copayments for your medications, for example, $10, but with others, you will have to pay the full price until you meet your deductible.
