3 reasons to sign up now
- Don’t miss out on routine care with cost savings. All Marketplace health coverage plans cover the same set of essential health benefits (like emergency services, pregnancy and newborn care, and prescription drugs) and certain preventive health services (like shots and screening tests) at no cost to you.
- Plans may cost less than you think. For 2017 Marketplace health insurance, most people can find coverage with premiums from $50 to $100 per month after financial help. Are you one of them?
- Get peace of mind for you and your family. Fixing a broken leg can cost up to $7,500, and the average cost of a 3-day hospital stay is around $30,000. No one plans to get sick or hurt, but health insurance gives you important financial protection just in case.
