- The Health Insurance Marketplace is a new way to get coverage that meets your needs.

Why should I use the Marketplace?
High-quality coverage
All Marketplace plans offer the same set of comprehensive benefits. They cover things like pre-existing conditions, pregnancy, hospitalizations, prescriptions, doctor’s visits, and more.
Lower insurance costs
Most people will get some help with costs. You may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs. You may be able to get free or low-cost coverage from Medicaid or CHIP.
