By now most everyone in the U.S. is aware they must sign up for health coverage that meets new minimum standards according to the Affordable Care Act by January 1, 2014. (Open Enrollment begins on October 1, 2013.) Seniors enrolled in Medicare will keep their current coverage and enjoy the same benefits and security as they do today. Employees eligible for coverage through their employer will most often find this coverage to be their best option when factoring in employer contributions and the tax advantage of payroll deducting their portion of insurance premium. All others must sign up for individual coverage or pay a tax penalty. Insurance exchanges, like the government Health Insurance Marketplace, established by the ACA, will be the primary method for individuals to sign up for coverage. For more information about specifics of the government marketplace click here.
