Eligibility
Different types of insurance have different requirements for who is eligible to sign up. For example, to be eligible for Medicare, you have to be 65 or older. If you are buying insurance through an association, to be eligible you will need to be an active member of that association. Employers usually only offer health insurance to full-time employees. Eligibility is also defined for dependents, including spouse, domestic partner, and children.
