Hello everyone. Pardon any ignorance to this subject…

Husband and I moved in the beginning of the year to Virginia. Neither of us has health insurance beforehand.

I started looking in late February-March and got suckered into a United Healthcare plan, which I afterwards found out was only a health plan and not health insurance. I cancelled that one. The insurance offered by his job was close to $2,000 a month for both of us, absolutely absurd.

I spent weeks and weeks searching for health coverage for us on the government sites and everything else.

I haven’t had steady income the entire time. My husband works full time. We do not qualify for Medicaid. I am nearly two months pregnant now. And no insurance will allow us to start coverage now because we are outside of the enrollment period.

The only thing we count on now is waiting until November when enrollment is open again. Am I missing something?

*Edit we are both in our twenties and my husband’s salary is 52k.
