Can anyone help me with this situation?
Currently, my husband and I both have working ARCs (we are English teachers).
We will have a baby in Taiwan the beginning of October. After the baby is born, I will stay home to take care of her. Therefore, I will stop working July 1st when my teaching contract for this year is completed.
At that time, I will apply for a spousal ARC. The problem is, the Health Insurance Office told me that I will not have National Health Insurance for four months during the switch. That means I won't have health insurance when I have the baby.
Is there some way around this?

That's right, it does take four months for your health insurance to kick in after switching ARCs. Is there anyway you can switch now? Surely, your school would understand?
