Can Full Time Students Get Health Insurance? 
Yes , you can . There is some chance the college/university you are attending offers a student health insurance plan though these are becoming increasingly rare because of their general inability to meet the requirements of ObamaCare . If you are under age 26 you can still be covered as a dependent on your parent 's group or individual health insurance policy . You can apply for individual health insurance coverage either through a government health insurance marketplace or from an insurance broker and/or insurance carrier outside of the government marketplace -LRB- please note that depending upon your circumstances you may not be eligible to enroll for individual coverage until the next open enrollment period beginning November 15th for coverage effective January 1 , 2015 at the earliest -RRB- . And finally , you may want to consider applying for a short term major medical insurance policy . Short term medical policies do have a few underwriting questions , you can be declined for coverage and they do not cover pre-existing conditions . These limitations aside , for a healthy young person a short term medical policy may be the most cost effective solution to protecting yourself against future accidents or illnesses . You would be well served to seek out an experienced health insurance broker to assist you in finding the best solution for your needs and budget .
