Act requires nearly everyone

starting Jan. 1, 2014, or pay a financial penalty.
This applies to you, unless you are:

through the new online marketplace.
Formerly called the health exchange, this is the umbrella under which different health
plans are being made available to individuals, families and
small businesses.

3) Who needs to pay attention to the
marketplace and upcoming enrollment? Basically,
anyone who is uninsured and under 65.
Most people are covered under employer health
plans and will continue with that form of coverage.

If you're on Medicare, note: It isn't part of the health
insurance marketplace, and the marketplace won't
affect Medicare choices and benefits.

4) How much will marketplace plan rates
cost?That is still unknown.
Information on rates and plans hasn't been released,
and there isn't a date yet for when it will be available,
according to state Department of Insurance spokeswoman Kimberly
Parker.
![Page 12: Are You Confused About ObamaCare?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55548d26b4c9057f688b4695/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
5) What financial assistance is available for health
coverage? Tax credits will be available
to help anyone with a household income at 139-400 percent of the federal
poverty level. That's an income of $15,500 to
$44,680 for an individual and $32,000 to $92,200 for
a family of four.
![Page 13: Are You Confused About ObamaCare?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55548d26b4c9057f688b4695/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Applicants will have three options for subsidy
payments. They'll be able to take them monthly to be directly applied toward
their premium payments or at the end of the year, or have them applied toward partial monthly premium assistance, with the rest
paid at the end of the year.
![Page 14: Are You Confused About ObamaCare?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55548d26b4c9057f688b4695/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Health plans will be available in four categories of cost-sharing levels called
bronze, silver, gold and platinum. People with an
income at the low end, 139-200 percent of the federal
poverty level, will also eligible to apply for cost
sharing on one of the silver-level plans that will lower their out-of-pocket costs.
![Page 15: Are You Confused About ObamaCare?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55548d26b4c9057f688b4695/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
6) What if your income is even less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level?
You will be directed to apply for coverage under the
expanded state Medicaid (public insurance) program.
![Page 16: Are You Confused About ObamaCare?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55548d26b4c9057f688b4695/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Don't worry about which one you qualify for,
marketplace or Medicaid. You apply for both through the marketplace, and once you provide your income
information, you'll be directed accordingly.
![Page 17: Are You Confused About ObamaCare?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55548d26b4c9057f688b4695/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
NOTE: If you qualify for Medicaid, you won't be able
to receive financial assistance for a
marketplace health plan.

Are You Confused Yet?
7) Can you still apply for marketplace coverage if you earn more than 400 percent of the federal poverty level?
Yes, but you won't be eligible for financial
assistance.
![Page 19: Are You Confused About ObamaCare?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55548d26b4c9057f688b4695/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
People with coverage meeting certain standards
through their employers are also ineligible for the tax
credits.I urge people currently buying individual coverage (not
through their employers) to check out the plans and rates on the marketplace, even if
they are going to be ineligible for subsidies.

8) I am an adult with a pre-existing health condition.
Can I enroll in a marketplace plan?
Yes. Under the Affordable Care Act, it is already illegal for
insurers to discriminate against children with pre-existing conditions, and
starting next year, the same protection will be in effect for
adults.
