mahko Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi, Our daughter, Chinese national, green card and student in San Francisco, is in need of reasonably priced health insurance for while she is here. Has anyone had experience with this? I would think there might be programs that would take everything into consideration i.e. woman, minority, student. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! How long has she been in the US? Can she get on your insurance or your spouse's plan? Usually you have 30-60 days after a "qualifying event" to add them to an existing plan or get them onto an ACA plan. Immigration is a qualifying event, at least it was when my stepdaughter moved to the US. Otherwise you'll have to wait until open enrollment later this year. Back when I was in college we also had the option of buying an insurance plan through the university, but I recall it being pretty expensive. Oh and good luck taking advantage of any "minority" programs in the US as an Asian.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newacct Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) How old is she? What's her income? If she's not a tax dependent of her parents, and her income is low enough, she can get Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid) any time in the year.
