Marketplace Health Insurance (HealthCare.gov)
Private health plans through HealthCare.gov, often with savings that lower your monthly cost.
Overview
The Health Insurance Marketplace (HealthCare.gov) lets people who do not have affordable job coverage, Medicaid, or Medicare buy a private health plan, often with savings (premium tax credits) that lower the cost.
Lawfully present immigrants can use the Marketplace, and your information is used only for coverage, not for immigration enforcement.
Who this is for
- People without affordable job-based coverage, Medicaid, or Medicare
- Lawfully present immigrants (green card, work permit, and others)
- Lower-income immigrants who cannot get Medicaid yet due to the 5-year wait, they may still get Marketplace savings
- Anyone who needs help choosing a plan in Bangla
