Short-term plans may appear to be a quick method to save money on health insurance, but they provide little coverage and only last a few months. This may expose your wife to further expenditures if she requires medical attention. Your employer’s plan is likely to cover more and be less expensive because your job contributes to its cost. Instead of cancelling, discuss any issues your wife has with the current plan. You may be able to locate a better choice that meets your budget without sacrificing vital coverage.
