You’ve got more options

By Ben Siegfried, HealthMarkets Insurance Agency

One of the hallmarks of last year’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollment was the elimination of the tax penalty for those failing to acquire coverage. The law requiring coverage was and is still in place, but the individual mandate on the tax penalty was eliminated last year. This was a tax code change, not an ACA change, but it obviously impacted everyone covered under the Affordable Care Act.

The tax code change gave people who were subscribed to an ACA plan more options. Some chose to stay with the ACA coverage they already had, others chose to switch to a non-ACA governed plan. ACA plans do a great job of including all of the things a healthcare plan should include. If you decide to make a switch, it should really be based on sound information. A free review with me will give you exactly that.

People who want or need ACA coverage still need to follow the enrollment dates (November 1-December 15), or they need to change plans. With me, you’ll have the power to learn about all of your options, and you can feel confident that the plan you’re in, or perhaps another plan, is the best fit for you and your family. You have the power to choose.

Everyone needs health insurance coverage. The difference I can offer is that my services are free of charge, and I can provide access to carriers some other agents cannot. I can help you determine if you should elect coverage outside of the ACA, or if staying with the ACA makes better sense.
