Quit My Job at Age 26 – What To Do
Just quit my job in Florida at age 26 and am consequently losing my health, vision, and dental insurance. I will not have a serious income in 2023 due to transitioning to full time student (the college does not offer a health plan). So basically I will be uninsured all the way from here on out. How fucked am I, honestly? I saw that you can get silver plans on the private marketplace super cheap and/or completely subsidized if you make a certain income, but again, I will not have an income or job. I am not asking what specific plan I should get, but is there some kind of plan or program that allows me to qualify for super cheap but decent health/dental/vision? What’s a good strategy here? There’s got to be some way someone with no income can get a decent plan and pay very little out of pocket. Or, just tell me I’m fucked and will have to pay $300-400+ a month going forward, lol.
Btw I will not consider COBRA because my employer plan portion and my portion total is going to be like $500 biweekly to continue.
