I am 40 yrs old male, lives in CA. Just out of job. I need low cost health insurance. Anybody know about this?

Question

I know that medical only for over 65 or under 21 or disabled person. My friend told me to try welfare. But I don't think I'm qualified. If you have any advice, please help me.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Your only option is to go to a County facility or clinic. They will offer a sliding scale to pay for services. You can google your county + county medical facilities to find them or look in your phone book under County Listings.

Answer 2

If you don't qualify for government assistance check out a short term health policy.  Companies offer these limited coverage policies for people in just your situation - temporarily unemployed, or in the probation period for new employment, kids just graduated college and no longer on their parents policies but not covered through a job yet...

Because the coverage is limited and they may not  cover preexisting conditions they're pretty affordable.  I know State Farm has one as I used to sell it often before I retired.

If you do have pre-existing conditions your only other option may be COBRA through your former employer, but I know that's very expensive.

Best of luck!

Answer 3

Go apply.  You don't know if you qualify unless you try.  They will let you know.
