Your claim: During that in-between period while you are waiting for the non-compete to expire, you aren’t covered by health insurance. Is completely untrue. You have options for health insurance, including remaining on your existing plan via COBRA. In some states leaving your job may qualify you for an ACA plan. Forgoing health insurance is a choice, not a given.
