Why buy health insurance for J2 visa holders?

Since J2 visa holders accompany J1 visa holders, the J2 visa insurance is quite taken care by the sponsoring institution which is covering the J1 visa holders insurance as well. However, there are situations where the sponsoring institution will cover only the mandated insurance cover for the J1 visa holder, or in some instances the institution might insist that the J visa holder buy the J visa insurance as mandated by the US authorities. In this situation, the J2 visa holder will need to buy insurance as specified by the US consulates to satisfy J visa insurance requirements.

The affordable care act (ACA) popularly known as Obamacare makes it mandatory for all US residents to have health insurace. Of course, along with buying health insurance because it is mandated by the US authorities, it is always wise to have proper health insurance in the United States. Health care is very expensive and being uninsured and forced to visit an US hospital can be disastrous. The US authorities by insisting on J2 insurance are ensuring the financial wellbeing of the J1 and J2 visa holder who is new in the US and unaware about the health care costs in this country.
