What is ACA?
The Affordable Care Act is a U.S. law. You may also hear it called Obamacare. The law sets rules for health plans sold through the Health Insurance Marketplace. To use the Marketplace, you must live in the U.S. You must be a U.S. citizen or national, or be lawfully present. You also cannot be in prison.
Each ACA plan must cover key care, such as:
- Doctor visits
- Prescription drugs on the plan’s list
- Preventive care, such as shots and health checks
- Mental health care
An ACA plan cannot turn you down due to a health issue you had before you signed up. The plan also cannot charge you more due to that issue. What you pay can still vary by plan. Check the plan’s doctors, drug list, and fees before you choose.
Who Can Apply?
You may be able to apply if:
- You live in the U.S.
- You are a U.S. citizen or national, or are lawfully present
- You are not in prison
You can still buy a Marketplace plan if your job offers health coverage. An affordable job plan that meets federal rules can block you from getting a tax credit. The credit amount is based in part on your household size and expected income. Some people may also get help with the cost of care.
Why Choose ACA Plans?
All ACA plans must cover ten main types of health care. The price, doctor list, drug list, and cost of care can still change by plan. A plan cannot deny you due to a past health need. A tax credit may also cut the price.

Common questions
Answers before you choose a plan
Open any question for a plain-language answer. Call the office if your situation is different.
When can I sign up for an ACA health insurance plan?
Open Enrollment runs from November 1 through January 15 each year. A life event may give you a Special Enrollment Period at another time. Events can include a move, marriage, birth, or loss of health coverage. Check HealthCare.gov for the rules and dates that apply to you.
How can an ACA tax credit lower my monthly cost?
The tax credit is based in part on your household size and expected income. If you qualify, you may use some or all of it in advance. This lowers the premium you pay each month. Report income or household changes so the credit stays on track.
What if I am too young for Medicare but lost my job-based health insurance?
Loss of job-based coverage may give you a Special Enrollment Period. You usually have 60 days after that coverage ends to choose a Marketplace plan. Apply on time to help avoid a gap. Medicaid and CHIP sign-up is open all year for people who qualify.
Do ACA plans cover prescriptions and mental health care?
Yes. Each Marketplace plan must cover ten types of care. They include prescription drugs, mental health care, maternity and newborn care, and preventive care. The exact drugs, services, and costs can vary by plan.
Can my family be on one ACA plan, or do we each need our own?
One Marketplace application can include a spouse and tax dependents. Eligible family members may be able to join the same health plan. Compare the premium, doctor network, and both the person and family deductibles before you choose.
