Health Insurance

2019 will bring changes to the individual health insurance market. The mandate and penalty for not being enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare health insurance plans has been eliminated. This means you will have more choices for coverage outside the ACA. You will be able to select ACA plans or Non-ACA plans that will meet your specific individual needs.

Covered California

The State of California with The Cooperation of the Federal Government created Covered California Market Place where individuals and small business owners can go and shop for health coverage. Consumers also have the option to go straight to the insurance companies and purchase coverage; however, they will not be able to qualify for any financial subsidies if they do so. So far, the only way to get financial subsidies (tax credits) is if the individual purchases coverage through the Marketplace, also known as the Exchange.

Navigating the Exchange forms for health insurance coverage can be difficult and sometimes stressful, many people just give up. Or by the time they get to select their health plan, they simply pick the lowest value simply because they do not want to spend any more time looking over plan details.
