What Is ACA Health Insurance? & How to Get Affordable Coverage Now
Health insurance doesn’t have to be complicated—or expensive. If you’re under 65 and need coverage, ACA health insurance (also known as Affordable Care Act plans or Marketplace coverage) could be the solution. Whether you’re self-employed, recently lost your job, or no longer covered under a parent’s plan, ACA plans offer affordable, comprehensive coverage—and many people qualify for $0/month premiums.
Here’s what you need to know about ACA coverage, who qualifies, and how to compare plans quickly using our easy enrollment link.
What Is ACA Health Insurance?
ACA health insurance refers to the health plans made available through the Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010. These plans are offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace and are designed to provide:
-
Essential health benefits, including doctor visits, emergency services, mental health care, prescriptions, and more
-
Protections for people with pre-existing conditions
-
Income-based subsidies that help lower your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs
Who Can Get an ACA Plan?
You may qualify for ACA health insurance if you are:
-
Under age 65
-
Not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid
-
Not offered affordable employer-based coverage
-
A U.S. citizen or lawfully present resident
Even if you’ve been denied coverage in the past or think it’s too expensive, ACA plans are often more affordable than people expect—especially with current tax credits and subsidies.
How Much Do ACA Plans Cost? 
One of the biggest benefits of ACA coverage is income-based financial help.
Depending on your household size and income, you may qualify for:
-
Premium tax credits – which lower your monthly payments
-
Cost-sharing reductions – which reduce deductibles, copays, and coinsurance
Many individuals and families now qualify for plans as low as $0/month.
When Can You Enroll?
You can enroll in ACA health coverage during two main periods:
-
Open Enrollment Period (OEP) – Typically runs from November 1 to January 15 each year
-

Lost employer health coverage
