Do you have to have health insurance when entering the Peace Corps

Do you have to have health insurance when entering the Peace Corps?
Do you have to have health insurance BEFORE entering and if you take their insurance for the Peace Corps, when does coverage begin? So when am I covered? Will I be covered as soon as I am accepted or as soon as I step foot onto foreign soil?

I KIND OF THOUGHT THAT "MEDICAL TREATMENT" WAS PART OF THE "BENEFITS PACKAGE" WHICH OUR "UNCLE SAMMY" PROVIDED WITH PEACE CORP SERVICE!!!SEE: <www.peacecorps.gov> Peace Corps Fighting hunger, disease, poverty, and lack of opportunity.www.peacecorps.gov - 46k - Cached - More from this site

Peace Corps requires a physical exam and medical clearances before they accept you in the Peace Corps. As a volunteer, all medical treatments and checkups are provided by Peace Corps so no health insurance is required.. threre is a cobra that kicks in when you leave Peace Corps that covers during any extended travel time when returning to the states and to cover the gap until you get a job.
