Do you have health insurance? By law everyone must obtain health insurance or pay a tax penalty.

The easiest way would be through the federal/state health exchange (Obamacare). Head on over to http://www.coveredca.com/individuals-and-families/special-circumstances/immigrants/ That's your state exchange. Your fiancé qualifies for special enrollment since marriage and immigration are life changing events.

Please see the link in my signature that gives you further information on the federal law, what documents to use as proof, and status.

You'll have to pay a premium just as you would have to if you decided you want to purchase private insurance. Be prepared for any sticker shock.

Add her to yours would be the easiest option.

At my place of employment, I have to present marriage license for my fiance & birth certificate for his son within 30 days of marriage. They will be added to my plan. There will be a slight increase in price but they will have dental, vision & health care
