Note on Maternity Coverage. Pregnancy is generally considered to be a preexisting condition. Before Obamacare, if you were pregnant when you joined an insurance plan that excluded coverage for preexisting conditions including pregnancy, you would not be covered for maternity costs.
Starting in 2014, the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) implemented an open enrollment period from October 1st to March 31st to buy coverage for plan year 2014. You can only buy health insurance in this time frame unless you have a qualifying life event or a special enrollment status. To be covered in 2015 you will need to enroll during the next open enrollment period beginning on November 15th and ending February 15th. Obamacare is a law that passed in 2010.
