The Truth About ObamaCare Everyone Should Know

The truth about ObamaCare is that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) gives individuals and families a way to shop for health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace, with plans covering essential health benefits and pre-existing conditions. Depending on your household information and estimated income, you may also qualify for a premium tax credit that lowers your monthly premium. However, the lowest-premium plan isn’t always the best choice—you should also consider deductibles, copays, prescription coverage, and provider networks. If you’re new to Marketplace coverage, visit our ACA Health Insurance Made Simple page to better understand how ACA coverage works.

When comparing ACA health insurance, look beyond the monthly premium and consider your expected total healthcare costs, doctors, hospitals, prescriptions, deductible, and out-of-pocket expenses. Marketplace plans and costs can vary, so understanding your options can help you choose coverage that better fits your healthcare needs and budget.
