 [ Symptoms ] i am a college graduate back in school studying for a second degree  i work part time but have no health insurance and will not have it until next sept when i am in my full time nursing program it is a huge concern of mine what are my options for health care [ Disease ] that is a great question under the law open enrollment will start on october 1st you can take a look at the plans available to you in your state and purchase a plan that will start january 1 since insurers can no longer deny anyone coverage you are guaranteed access to a health plan in addition it sounds like you are likely to qualify for a tax credit that will lower the cost of coverage anyone earning less than about 46 000 a year will qualify for some kind of financial assistance
