Where can i get health insurance from when i make very very little money?

• im an 18 year old female and my dad dropped the ball a while back and i havent had health insurance for 2-3 years now. and i need health insurance so where can i get health insurance? i make little money like pretty much $30 a month cuz i have a part time job where i work once maybe twice a month i live in california. prefferably a health plan just for health and dental if possible...but really anything will do at this point

• Answer:

  If you live alone, or everyone who lives with you makes as little as you do, then you probably qualify for "medi-cal", free health insurance from the government. If anyone in your household makes too much to qualify, then the entire household is disqualified, so you cannot get medi-cal. If you cannot get insurance from the government, then you cannot get it anywhere right now, because all other health insurance has to be obtained by a person who is 19 or older; you cannot do it yourself when you are only 18. When you turn 19, you can buy it from a health insurance company, but it costs more than $30 a month, so you will have to find some way to pay for it. Finally, to have a plan for health and have a plan for dental, you need to get two separate plans, one for each thing. You cannot get one plan for both.
