Q:Eligibility question I am a Non-US permanent resident living in New Jersey for almost 7 years now. My employer provide a group health plan, but only covers 10% of premium, so for me it is very expensive. Can I opt-out from the group plan and apply for an immigrant health insurance? Am I eligible for Patriot o CitizenSecure plans? Thanks.

A:
No, you can't buy any of those. What are my options? What should I do? Continue with employer insurance.

Q:traveling expenses Hello Could you also tell me what is meant by "traveling expenses" in the trip coverage of Patriot TRIP Lite in case of missed connections ?

Q:Pariot TRIP Lite Hello I'm purchasing a medical coverage and it's offered to me to have also a trip coverage (Patriot TRIP Lite). My trip departure is 22 Feb 2009 and my return date is 22 May 2009. The ticket I bought includes departure and return. Is the trip coverage also for my return trip ? Thank you very much for answering me.

A:
Patriot TRIP Lite is a trip cancellation insurance. Your trip can be cancelled only before it starts. Once you have departed on your trip, there is really nothing to cancel and therefore it is not applicable on the return flight. You can purchase it online at https://www.insubuy.com
