I will be arriving in August (hopefully) and I am quite concerned because the school I will be teaching for does not offer health insurance. I tried to find information about how much it would cost to purchase a plan on my own (and what the plans would cover). I just seem to get to pages that want me to fill in information about myself but gives me NO information about the insurance they provide.
Would someone please tell me about purchasing health/dental insurance and is it necessary? The woman who interviewed me informed me that the government insurance is usually adequate - is this the case? Thank you so much for your anticipated response.
