Health insurance for $0?

By Ben Siegfried, HealthMarkets Insurance Agency

The American Rescue Plan Act may help people obtain additional subsidies to help lower their health insurance premium costs. For about 80% of Americans, that means plans for $10 or as low as zero dollars after subsidies will be possible.

In order to take advantage of this opportunity, your application for coverage will need to be updated, anytime until Sunday, August 15. Existing enrollees can change their plans before that date, and those without coverage can enroll.

People who make 400 percent of the federal poverty level, about $100,000 for a family of four, will become eligible for financial assistance for the first time.

This remarkable opportunity means that in past years if you didn’t qualify for a subsidy, you might now—and it could be significant. And if previously enrolling in an ACA plan didn’t make sense for you and your family, the available subsidies could make it more attractive to enroll.

The best way to find out if changing your plan or enrolling in an ACA plan is right for you is to give me a call for a no-cost review. I can also help you determine how the subsidy change could be of benefit.

Now may be a good time to take advantage of the expanded enrollment opportunity and subsidy assistance to see if there’s a better option to suit your needs.
