My mom recently became a green card holder. What is the best health insurance I can get for her?
From what I see, visitor's coverage is the only one that is can be seen using Google but I am not sure if it is right for her.
We live in Seattle, WA. Her home country is India.
Your mom can buy a plan from her state's health insurance exchange (Obamacare/ACA marketplace). The one for Washington state is Washington Healthplanfinder. Although this year's open enrollment period already ended, one qualifies for a 60-day special enrollment period after a life-changing event; one such event is moving to the US, so your mom should be able to enroll if she moved to the US in the last 60 days. If her household income is below 400% of the federal poverty level, she will receive a subsidy to help pay part of the premium.
