by KCALKCAL Perspectives

With MYT Health Insurance, all your health insurance problems are solved! Don’t have a green card? Don’t have a Social Security Number? How are you going to buy health insurance?

Use this opportunity during the annual Open Enrollment Period from October 15, 2019 – January 31, 2020 to enroll in health insurance! With this health plan, you’ll still have access to the ten essential health benefits.

At the start of October 2019, Trump issued an executive order requiring immigrants applying for a U.S. visa to prove that they have the means to cover their own medical expenses, otherwise, they may be denied entry. They must provide proof of this information within 30 days of entry, or they must provide a certificate of health insurance.

The regulation also states that applicants who use federal grants when purchasing insurance (such as subsidized insurance plans purchased through Covered California) are considered to be abusing public benefits and may be disqualified from obtaining their immigration visas.

MYT Health Insurance is purchased directly from insurance companies, so it is one of the best options to buying health insurance for those who have just immigrated to the U.S. If you are a California resident under the age of 65, then you are eligible to purchase this kind of health insurance.
