| how to get health insurance |
Employer-sponsored insurance: If you have a job, your employer may offer health insurance as part of your benefits package. This type of insurance is typically offered at a reduced cost to employees.
Individual health insurance: If you don't have access to employer-sponsored insurance, you can purchase an individual health insurance policy through the health insurance marketplace or directly from an insurance company. The marketplace is an online platform where you can compare plans from different insurers and see if you're eligible for financial assistance to help pay for your insurance.
Medicaid: Medicaid is a government program that provides free or low-cost health insurance to eligible individuals and families with low incomes.
Medicare: Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people who are 65 years old or older, or who have certain disabilities or medical conditions.
COBRA: If you've recently left a job that offered health insurance, you may be eligible for COBRA, which allows you to continue your employer-sponsored health insurance for a limited time.
