Temporary Health InsuranceTemporary Health Insurance or sometimes known as "short term" health insurance is something you will need if you: 1. Between Jobs 2. Waiting For Your New Health Insurance to kick in. 3. Become unemployed. Even if you are single, you should never be without health insurance. There are companies like Fortis that offer protection for you and your family from the potentially devastating financial obligations that unexpected illness or injuries can cause. My wife broke her ribs this past September and a single 3 hour visit to the Emergency Room cost over $6,000.00. Almost 70% of that cost was the CT scans necessary to rule out any damage to internal organs. She could not have gone without these important tests. Lack of health insurance can cause bankruptcy! If you are not insured, take a look at temporary health insurance to cover catastrophic health events that could leave you with hundreds of thousands of unpaid medical bills. I can't emphasize more the importance of having continuous health insurance. If you are not currently covered, look into temporary health insurance now. -Eric
