Life usually has more than a few unexpected turns for people, and there can be any number of situations where people need short term health insurance. We’d think that the only exception to that would be if they are going on a vacation and need it, but these days most folks who have the means of globetrotting and taking medication on a plane will have travel medical through their employer’s extended health plan. But for most staying home and not by choice it’s probably not an ideal scenario if they need temporary health insurance. So who offers short term health insurance?

The good news is that in both the USA and Canada you’ve got options, and that’s beneficial as you may get a better price on your insurance because you have a number of different providers to choose from. However, short term health insurance tends to be expensive and it’s for this reason that people are going to be inclined to shop around and find the best price on it. This is going to be an even more pressing matter if the temporary insurance is needed to get prescription drug coverage. So many Americans are on Rx drugs that they simply can’t afford, but they also can’t afford to not be taking them.  

So the question then becomes who has short term health insurance available that’s affordable, and can be used to defray the high cost of medications in the USA. Some of the people going down this path will be those who are taking medications that are no longer covered by Medicare Part D and there will be others who need the insurance to have some type of copay arrangement for their spouse or another family member. Ordering medication online from Canada is one way to save money on it if you don’t have insurance coverage.
