What health insurance options do I have while I'm going to college

What health insurance options do I have while I'm going to college?
I will only be working part-time while going to college so I will not have health benefits. What options are available? I'm an older adult, so I will not be on my parents insurance.

Also does it matter if I am attending a community or technical college? I plan to start at a community college, then transfer to a university.

Some colleges/universities offer information on health insurance plans for their students. I know my daughter was eligible for free health services through our State health department because she was considered an adult at 18 and had a minimal income.

Most schools allow students to pay extra to get health insurance through them. Some have programs that require you to opt-out by a certain date or get stuck paying for it anyway. You should do your own cost comparison, though, as the health insurance offered by schools is a flat rate, making it more expensive than a healthy person could get on his own.
