The type of health insurance you can obtain depends on whether your spouse lives in the US permanently or is only visiting and needs temporary health coverage for their stay.
For example, if you are looking for long-term health insurance for your spouse, and have qualified health insurance for yourself, either through your employer or on your own, then consider adding your spouse to your health insurance. Under Obamacare, you and your spouse may be required to obtain an ACA compliant health insurance policy.
As a non-US citizen visiting the US for a short duration, your spouse may qualify for temporary visitors insurance. These insurance policies provide coverage solely for new medical conditions as per the policy terms, and often do not have coverage for preventative care, pre-existing conditions, dental, vision, maternity, childbirth, etc. Be sure to review the policy documents for details.
