Begining today, anyone who wants to find better health insurance coverage can begin shoping and comparing plans on their states' Health Insurance Marketplace! The Marketplaces are a part of the Affordable Care Act that allow families and individuals to shop for and compare affordable, understandable, and comprehensive health insurance plans. Many people will be eligible for tax credits toward the purchase of private insurance. Others can visit the Marketplace to learn if they are eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
