Health insurance options while in US (before marriage)

[Rosalea 22]

Hi everyone!

 

I've been in the US now for 2 weeks and have been a bit confused about what my insurance options are. It seems that I can't get normal travel insurance since I now 'reside' in the US (unless I just say that I reside/am a resident of NZ [I technically am haha]), and I can't get on my partner's health insurance til we're married, and the only other option is to pay like $300+ a month. Do you guys have any tips or recommendations? I'm currently considering doing the travel insurance since it'll be the cheapest, and in some ways I guess I'm legally sort of a 'visitor', so, that works out in my head. But let me know cos I also don't wanna do something wrong haha!

Even if approved, I doubt any claims would be approved. This should have been purchased before you bought a plane to ticket

 

Get married in Vegas (
