The Ohio Department of Insurance created a comprehensive guide to help individuals, families, self-employed people, and small business owners understand some of the basics of health insurance:
(excerpted from insurance.ohio.gov) If you have health coverage, keep it. Unless the policy owner (you or your employer) stops paying premiums, the health plan cannot cancel your coverage even if you get sick.
The law allows you to keep coverage through life-changing events (divorce, changing jobs, job loss, etc.) though the coverage and/or premiums may change depending on the situation. Not having health insurance can be a dangerous decision. If you’re not covered and have an accident or develop a serious illness, it can be financially devastating.
