Understanding the ACA Marketplace: A Simple Starting Point

For those not yet on Medicare, the Health Insurance Marketplace can feel like an entirely different world of acronyms and deadlines. Here's a simple starting point.

What is the Marketplace?

A place to shop for health insurance plans, compare costs and coverage side by side, and find out if you qualify for financial help to lower your monthly premium.

Who is it for?

Anyone who doesn't have coverage through an employer, Medicare, or Medicaid — including those who are self-employed, between jobs, or retired early before Medicare eligibility.

The Marketplace doesn't have to be confusing. A short conversation can clarify your options and whether you qualify for savings.
