Why should you join a National General Short Term Health Plan?
-
These plans are generally far more affordable than an ACA plan, even after you consider the tax penalty.In the event that you do not qualify for Obamacare plan subsidies, you will be stuck paying very high premiums. For instance, A 29-year-old woman making $33,000 annually in South Florida will pay about $2,200 each year for a bronze-level Obamacare plan. On the other hand, she could purchase four short-term plans back-to-back for less than $500 a year. Even after you add in tax penalty of $695, she will still save over $1,000 per year. The plans have a comparable deductible.
-
You will still be eligible to join an ACA plan in the event that you develop a condition that prevents you from reapplying for a Short Term Health Insurance plan.Affordable Care Act health plans cannot deny coverage for pre-existing conditions therefore, you will be eligible to join an ACA plan during open enrollment.
-
Short Term Health Insurance is Flexible. Did you know that the ACA requires every plan to cover 10 essential health benefits. These benefits include maternity services. This means that a single male with an ACA plan will have maternity coverage that he can never use. Short-term health insurance covers services that a healthy member is more likely to actually use.
-
There is No Annual Open Enrollment Period for these plans. In fact, you can enroll in a plan anytime you need one. In contrast, you cannot purchase an Obamacare plan if you do not sign up during the short, six-week Open Enrollment Period. Unless you meet certain criteria for a special enrollment period.
