This video discusses temporary health insurance, or "short-term health insurance," as an option for individuals in transitional periods. Here are some key takeaways:

  • Temporary health insurance provides short-term coverage for those in transitional periods.

  • These plans are not as comprehensive as long-term policies and may exclude pre-existing conditions and essential benefits.

  • Alternatives to consider include COBRA if leaving a job, Medicaid, or options from health insurance marketplaces.
