What is the Marketplace?
The Marketplace is a website that lets people compare and buy for the health insurance plan that best fits their budget and needs. You can use the Marketplace if you are an individual or family who doesn’t have access to affordable health insurance coverage through an employer.
What kinds of financial help are available?
You may qualify for no-cost or low-cost health insurance through the Marketplace. Premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions help make healthcare more affordable. Premium tax credits lower the cost of the monthly premium you pay for your insurance, and cost-sharing reductions lower your out-of-pocket expenses when you need medical care.
This financial help uses a sliding scale, so individuals and families making less money pay a smaller amount for both health insurance and health care.
