Ask the insurance company. They might not cover you if you are not in school for a period of longer than 6 months.

Most health insurance polices require you to carry at least 12 units to stay on your folk’s health insurance. If you’re not in school, then you could be dropped. Better call your insurance company to make sure.
As for getting one on your own, you could look into an individual health plan. Use an insurance quote site like http://www.insweb.com so you can compare multiple quotes–make sure you’re getting a good deal.
