HEALTH INSURANCE WARNING

Health insurance is not required by law for students to get an F-1 visa to study at an ESL school. However, it is highly recommended that all F-1 students have healthcare coverage for medical treatments, emergencies, and other health-related issues. The cost of healthcare in the United States is exceptionally high. These can cause a financial burden on students, their families, and sponsors.

Additionally, F-1 students that use government-funded benefits are at risk of losing their status and possibly being barred from entering the United States in the future.
