Why Have Health Insurance?
Return to Home and Family Agent Articles
The Health Insurance Marketplace for the Affordable Care Act is now open.
If you’re still wondering what it’s all about, a good summary of the Marketplace can be found on the Healthcare.gov website, at this link: https://www.healthcare.gov/what-is-the-health-insurance-marketplace/
Do you know someone who doesn’t have health insurance? If you’re reading this article, chances are you know the benefits of having health insurance. But you may be in a position to educate someone else about the value of having health care coverage. The short video at this link https://www.healthcare.gov/why-should-i-have-health-coverage/ provides some talking points. A straight forward glossary of health insurance terms is on the same webpage. Check it out, spread the word.
An additional resource is a new website rolled out recently by the Kansas Insurance Department, designed to help Kansans learn more about changes in the health insurance market. The site, http://www.insureks.org/, features educational information for Kansans who may be interested in obtaining health insurance coverage through either the Health Insurance Marketplace or in the regular insurance market outside of the marketplace.
