Need Help on how to get health insurance while traveling

I know there are many people who travel all the time. We should be gone rv'ing for about 6 months, but my health insurance does not cover us if we are out of state. How does everyone do it? There is no telling when an accident or something may come up so how do I get covered while on the road. Any suggestions would be welcome.

People do it by being on Medicare, VA benefits or live in one of the very few states that still offer a PPO plan through the ACA. Or your income is so low that you qualify for Medicaid. Another option is having a full time job that you can do remotely that has full benefits.

I think that's a little extra that your current insurance can cover. Ask them for a quote. They might even have one that's trip specific.

You can get a separate one from other insurer but that will be more expensive.
