Is There A Waiting Period For Health Insurance? 
Now that most of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -LRB- Also called Obamacare -RRB- has been implemented , there is n't really a waiting period , but you can only buy health insurance at the end of each year for the following year , so for example you can apply in November or December for coverage starting in January . Or , if you have one of several qualifying events you can apply for new coverage . Those qualifying events may include loss of a job , loss ofcurrent insurance coverage , divorce , marriage .
