Thank you everyone for all your replies. They have been very helpful. 

I was just hired by this company about 30 days ago and my medical doesn't kick in until after another month. We got married in June of last year. 

Contact HR on Monday then, you should be able to add your husband.

Thank you. I will. I had no idea I could since he doesn't have his green card yet. 

 

Thank you so much everyone, this really helps.

I pay for my own health insurance.

My husband wanted to add me to his but we would have paid $750/ month plus $2,500 deductible so we decided against it.

Through your employer or you got it from outside ? Are we allowed to buy coverage thru  market place ?

Got it from outside.

 

You can buy coverage from whoever fits your budget.

Thankyou. I was wondering about that option as it’s very expensive thru my employer . Did you buy thru marketplace ?
