We Live in Texas Because my Husband is Going to College, but our Home is in another State. We aren’t changing our driver’s Licenses because we’re moving back after he Graduates. Should we apply for insurance in Texas or our home state?

  • Individual & Family Health Insurance

Since you’re living in Texas, you’ll probably have better access to the local medical care you need if you buy a plan on the Texas exchange. In addition, a number of states offer multi-state plans with national networks of doctors and hospitals. That may be an option if you want access to providers in both states.

To be eligible for coverage on a state marketplace, you have to be a resident there. But marketplaces are generally being pretty lenient about requiring proof. They may ask for a lease agreement or utility bill so it is important to make sure you can provide a proof of residence to be on the safe side.

They may also ask for documentation that your husband is enrolled at the college.
