What sort of health insurance options does a single woman have who lives on her own and works at the gap?
I get worried about my girlfriend because she doesn’t have health insurance. I am insured through my job, what are her options? Is there something she can sign up for? If she has health issues I want to know that she will be able to afford any necessary medical treatment. Thanks.

There are several options available. Typically, young single females can find affordable polices with Aenta, United Healthcare and a few others.
But the way health insurance is structured now, she needs to get something while she is in good health.
Policies will start around $50-$75 for higher deductible plans and go up from there. These are monthly rates.

She can go to a local, independent agent, who can explain all the coverages, and show her how to balance coverages and cost. She CAN buy private health insurance.

Financial assistance might be available. Certain government programs and nonprofit organizations can help. You can also discuss concerns about paying her medical bills with your health care provider, social worker or the business office of your clinic or hospital.
