What is the name of your state? ca
A few months ago my wife lost her job and was forced to cancel her health insurance that was covering our whole family. Now, I've gone and signed up for health insurance with my company but it's much more expensive. However, now my wife has found a new job and the same health benefits are being offered to her at a much better deal. Is there any way I can cancel my current health insurance and switch to hers? Normally, they say I can only make changes to my health insurance plan once a year, during the enrollment period. But if I wait half a year to cancel my insurance, then we won't be able to buy my wife's insurace because that time will be half a year away from her enrollment period. I find it hard to believe that there's no way around it other than not having insurance for 6 months and that's why I'm wondering if anyone knows what other options I may have.
Thank you,
Yuriy
