Turning 26? You May Qualify for Low-Cost Health Insurance

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 will be between $18,000 and $50,000 next year, you’ll likely qualify for:

• Subsidies to lower your monthly premium

• Cost-sharing reductions to cut your deductible, co-pays, and out-of-pocket costs

• Top-tier plans with $0 premiums, depending on your situation

These savings are prepaid and applied immediately, based on your income estimate. If your income ends up being higher or lower, it’s adjusted when you file your taxes — just like other tax credits.
