Why is health insurance important? 
Sometimes the decisions you have to make for your health can  be difficult.  Having health insurance means less worry for you when you or your child is sick because you will have access to a doctor. When you or your children are ill or injured, you won't have to worry about how to pay for doctor visits, prescriptions and other services.
 
Prevention is an important part of everyone's health. Even if you are healthy, you will stay in good health with annual visits, immunizations and dental checkups. Seeing the doctor for routine check-ups is vital to overall health.


Health Insurance Marketplace

Important: Marketplace Open Enrollment runs from November 1 through December 15 annually. You can buy a Marketplace plan outside of open enrollment only if you qualify for a special enrollment period. You can apply for Medicaid and CHIP any time. 

The Health Insurance Marketplace helps uninsured people find health coverage:
- Private health insurance: Plans cover essential health benefits, pre-existing conditions, and preventative care.
- Lower costs based on your household size and income: You can preview plans available in your area right now, with prices based on your income and household size. Most people who apply will qualify for lower costs.
-Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program: These programs cover millions of families with limited income. If it looks like you qualify, the Health Insurance Marketplace will share information with your state agency and they will contact you. Many, but not all, states implemented expanded Medicaid in 2014 to cover more people. NH and VT have expanded Medicaid.

You’re considered covered if you have Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, any job-based plan, any plan you bought yourself, COBRA, retiree coverage, TRICARE, VA health coverage, or some other kinds of health coverage. Financial assistance programs are not considered health insurance plans.

If you're eligible for job-based insurance, you can consider switching to a Marketplace plan. You won't qualify for lower costs based on your income unless the job-based insurance isn't considered affordable or doesn't meet minimum requirements.

If you have Medicare, you're considered covered and don't have to make any changes. If you have Medicare, you can't use the Marketplace to buy a supplemental plan or dental plan.  You can change your Medicare supplement plans during the annual Medicare open enrollment periods.
