The new health care law sets up a Health Insurance Marketplace in each state, which is your one-stop shopping destination for health insurance. It works in the same way you would shop for any other important item in your life: You look at all the available options in your area, compare each plan’s features and prices side-by-side, then choose the one that fits your needs and your budget.

  • Financial help is available
    Preventive care is free
    Application help is available — and free
  • You can’t be turned down for coverage for a having a pre-existing condition
  • The costs and benefits of each plan must be explained in easy-to-understand language — with no fine print
  • All health insurance plans have to cover important benefits, like doctor visits, hospitalizations, prescriptions, and more

Starting with the 2019 plan year the fee no longer applies.
