New Health Coverage Exchange called the Health Insurance Marketplace
In 2014 if you are uninsured, purchase individual coverage or believe your employer-provided coverage is inadequate or unaffordable, you will be able to shop for coverage directly in the federal Health Insurance Marketplace — a new competitive marketplace where individuals and small businesses can shop for and compare affordable and qualified health benefit plans. The Health Insurance Marketplace will offer you a choice of health plans that meet certain benefits and cost standards.
Open enrollment for the Marketplace for 2014 is October 1, 2013 – March 31, 2014. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov, where you can sign up for email alerts. Another good source for general information on the Affordable Care Act is the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services.
