What is health insurance?
Without universal healthcare, most people in the U.S. buy health insurance.
Do I need health insurance?
Healthcare in the U.S. is very expensive. Health insurance can help.
How much will health insurance cost?
Your “premium” is just part of the price. Look at other out-of-pocket costs as well.
How do I choose the right health insurance plan?
Ask: What does it cover? How much does it cost? Is it easy to use?

Eligible MIT-affiliated individuals, including eligible family members, can purchase insurance coverage in the MIT Student Health Insurance Plan (MIT SHIP).
