Affordable Care Act (ACA)

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as “Obamacare,” is a comprehensive reform law enacted in March 2010 to:

Make health insurance more affordable and accessible to Americans
Expand the Medicaid program
Support innovative medical care delivery methods to lower the overall costs of healthcare.

Whether you’re self-employed, in between jobs or simply looking for better coverage, the ACA plans can provide you with the protection and peace of mind you deserve.

Marketplace Agency & ElderCare Associates, Inc. is an independent health insurance agency dedicated to helping you explore and secure ACA insurance plans that are best suited to your situation.

Different Types of ACA Plans

ACA plans are categorized into four main types, which vary based on the level of coverage and cost-sharing between the insured and the health insurance agency:

Bronze

Bronze health insurance plans typically have the lowest monthly premiums but the highest out-of-pocket costs when you need care. On average, bronze plans cover 60% of healthcare costs, with the insured responsible for the remaining 40%.

Silver

Medical insurance brokers recommend silver health insurance plans to those who qualify for income-based cost-sharing reductions. Silver plans cover 70% of healthcare expenses, with the insured responsible for 30%.

Gold

Gold health insurance plans have higher premiums than Bronze and Silver but lower out-of-pocket costs. When you choose the Gold plan, the health insurance agency covers 80% of your healthcare costs, while you are responsible for 20%.

Platinum

Platinum health insurance plans can be a great choice for those who need regular medical care. They have the highest monthly premiums, but out-of-pocket costs are significantly lower. Platinum plans cover 90% of healthcare costs, with the insured responsible for only 10%.

Why You Need Health Insurance

Safeguard your well-being and finances.

Financial Protection Against High Medical Costs

A sudden health crisis can drain your savings. Health insurance keeps you protected by covering a portion of your medical bills, where costs can run into thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Access to Quality Healthcare

Health insurance provides access to a vast network of healthcare providers, ensuring you receive preventive care, routine check-ups and necessary treatments without the financial burden of paying out-of-pocket.

Peace of Mind

With health insurance, you have one less thing to worry about, knowing you are covered in a medical emergency or unexpected illness. This allows you to focus on your daily life without constantly worrying about the financial impact of a health crisis.
