Default Usually you can get insurance on your own

but it can be very expensive, but in comparison to what the surgery out of pocket would cost it would be a much smaller price to pay. You do not have to drop your husbands insurance. He could simply drop you from it if you get your own policy. Check with your local chamber of commerace and see if you can get insurance through them. CAUTION!!! Once your husband drops you from his insurance he can not put you back on until open enrollment, which varies from company to company depending on when they first started their policy. Generally with BCBS if you do not get back on his insurance during the open enrollment you have to wait until the following year to join unless there is a major change, ie: FOC requires by court order that you put a child on his insurance etc. Good luck! Let us know what's happening.
