This video explains the possibility and methods of securing health insurance exclusively for children, without including an adult or parent in the coverage.
- CHIP and Medicaid: Offer low-cost insurance options for children from low-income families, with eligibility based on household income.
- ACA Marketplace Plans: Available to most children during open enrollment periods, with income-based rates and potential discounts.
- Private Insurance Plans: Can be purchased directly for more flexibility outside of open enrollment periods or specific eligibility criteria.
- Short-Term Plans: Suitable for temporary coverage needs, providing an option for covering children for a limited time without annual commitment.
