Kentucky: For 2017, use HealthCare.gov to apply & enroll

If you live in Kentucky, the way you apply for and enroll in health coverage has changed for 2017.

• In past years, people getting health care in Kentucky used the kynect website to apply for and enroll in health insurance.
• For 2017 health care coverage, you’ll use HealthCare.gov instead. (HealthCare.gov is sometimes called the Health Insurance Marketplace.)
