Individual & Family Health Insurance

Individual and family health insurance is how you get covered when a job doesn't provide it — through ACA marketplace plans that share the cost of doctor visits, prescriptions, and emergencies. Timing is critical, because you generally can only enroll during the annual open-enrollment window or after a qualifying life event like marriage, a new baby, or losing other coverage.
