With unemployment now at 6-7% one of the best things that you can do to afford insurance and stay covered until you come upon a new job that provides health insurance is to get a short term health insurance plan.

Short term health insurance plans will cover you just like a permanent plan, however, with a short term plan it will eventually terminate and you will need to re-apply for another term.

If you have lost your job because of the economic crisis I encourage you to check out a short term health insurance plan to help you stay covered in tough times.

The application is very easy to do and you maybe able to know in 48 hours if not right away if you are approved.
