Healthcare Information
The US healthcare system can be quite confusing, especially if you are from a country that has nationalized healthcare.
Health Insurance
Review the information on the student health page. It is recommended that F-1 students maintain health insurance, as healthcare in the US is very expensive.
For J-1 students, health insurance is required. You should review this section of the maintaining status page.
