That is one problem when playing “benefits roulette” with companies. A lot of people change jobs frequently for career advancement and better pay. For the most part, medical benefits kick in immediately or shortly after hire.
Dental benefits also kick in at the same time, but they companies won’t cover major procedures like crowns for a year. So every time you change jobs, you restart the clock.
My private policy is about $20 a month more expensive than the one my last company provided, I stuck with it for this reason. I know that’s $720 a year, but that’s half a crown (and I am not talking about the old British currency unit.)

Most Ins don’t cover a lot of necessary ailments people have. Hearing, dental, eyes, glasses….partial coverage, not enough to help.
