Looking for recommendations for short-term health insurance plans. Hoping to get one while I am job hunting. Any thoughts on COBRA or Anthem? Do they have those kinds of plans? Thanks!
 
If you need temporary coverage, COBRA and short term plans are both options. COBRA lets you keep your old employer's plan, but you pay the full premium plus fees, which can get pricey. Short term plans are cheaper and flexible, usually lasting a few months up to a year, but they often dont cover pre-existing conditions or all ACA benefits. Anthem and other insurers do offer short term plans in some states, so its worth checking with them or a local broker to see what fits your situation. Good luck
