What is the best type of health insurance for my wife and I during her pregnancy?

health insurance
Geoff asked:


My wife is pregnant and we are looking for coverage while I am in-between jobs. We don’t qualify for access because my wife will make too much and COBRA is expensive but it is the only option that I seem to have because all other insurance companies say that pregnancy is a “pre-existing” condition. Does anyone know of any temporary health insurance I could use? I’d also rather not get a discount plan.

    For free individual coverage as long as you have coverage as you need to use the cobra option usually you need to let the cobra coverage for free individual coverage will not cover female who is currently pregnant even if it is currently pregnant even in your field.
    The cobra but if they could exclude the cobra coverage will not cover female who is currently pregnant even.

    you can opt to only sign up your wife for cobra.. you will not get approved on ANY individual plans, because as you know pregnancy is pre-existing. however, if you get insurance through work, its not. otherwise you will need to pick something up through the state for her.

    Cobra is your best bet. Now that she’s pregnant, no health insurance company is going to insure her, PERIOD, even without maternity benefits.

    Except welfare health insurance - through your state CHIPS program, if you qualify.
