What Happens To Health Insurance When You Quit Your Job? 
When you lose or quit a job that supplies you with benefits like health insurance you have a couple of options . First you can pick a short term medical plan that usually will last for 6 to 12 months that would close the gap while searching for a new job . Secondly , you may just apply and sign up for an Obamacare plan outside of the open enrollment period because it is considered special circumstances . If you do n't qualify for a subsidy the short term medical may be a better alternative .
