Understanding Public Marketplace Policies
Public marketplace policies, like those under the ACA (Obamacare), are designed to cover a wide range of medical needs, including:
-
Pre-Existing Conditions: Guaranteed coverage for any and all pre-existing conditions.
-
Comprehensive Benefits: Includes maternity care, mental health services, and drug/alcohol rehabilitation.
However, there are important considerations:
-
Higher Premiums: Because these policies cover high-risk individuals, monthly premiums and deductibles tend to be higher.
-
Subsidies: You may qualify for a lower premium through a subsidy, based on household income.
-
Important Note: If your reported income on taxes is higher than what you indicated when enrolling, you could face a tax penalty.
-
Best Fit:
-
Individuals with costly medications
-
Frequent doctor visits
-
Low income
Many in this criteria find that an ACA-compliant
policy is the most beneficial option.
Plus, it's tax-deductible. (1099, LLC, Small Businesses)
