You May Qualify for Affordable Coverage

If you’ve recently become unemployed, are paying high premiums through COBRA, or have moved to a new area — you may be eligible for low-cost or even free health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Affordable Plans from Trusted Carriers

You can access major medical plans from the same top carriers used by large employers, including:

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • And more — available to individuals through Bridge2Benefits
 

If you estimate your income to be between $18,000 and $50,000 this year, you could qualify for:

  • Monthly subsidies to lower or eliminate your premium
  • Cost-sharing reductions for lower deductibles and out-of-pocket costs
  • $0/month plans, depending on your income
 

Your income is just an estimate — if you end up earning more, it’s adjusted at tax time with no penalties. You’ll still have access to competitive plans typically offered by major employers, even if you don’t qualify for full subsidies.

Special Enrollment Qualifies You for Coverage

You can enroll anytime if:

  • You’ve lost job-based coverage
  • You’re currently on COBRA
  • You’ve recently moved
  • Or had another qualifying life event

 

Enrollment is fast and easy:

  • Compare plans online in minutes
  • See how much financial help you qualify for
  • Enroll with no paperwork or phone calls
