Q from YOU to Ninja HQ
Are ACA Marketplace plans good for EVERYONE?
Marketplace Plans - Perfect for Some, Terrible for Others
Now, let’s dive into your question. Well, the unfortunate reality is that there isn’t a single plan or type of plan available today, Marketplace plans or otherwise, that can cater to everyone’s needs and budgets. Marketplace plans serve as excellent options for individuals with SOME specific pre-existing conditions who may not have access to employer-sponsored plans.
A one-size-fits-all plan that worked for ALL medical conditions and for ALL budgets would be a dream type of solution. The reality is, that you need an insurance agent with the skills of a NINJA to source the benefits you need for YOUR specific conditions AND at a price that’s affordable!
Employer Coverage May or May Not Cover Pre-Existing Conditions
Most EMPLOYER plans, like Marketplace plans, also cover ALL pre-existing conditions, but they are NOT required to.
Employers who are required to provide health insurance to their employees ONLY have to offer Minimal Essential Coverage (MEC) benefits. This is benefits ONLY for preventative care, such as an annual physical.
Private Market Options Can Be the Perfect Options For Some
For those WITHOUT pre-existing conditions and higher incomes, a Marketplace plan may feel like they are overpaying for their coverage.
With Marketplace plans, the higher your income the higher your insurance rates. If you DON’T need coverage for pre-existing conditions, there are likely MUCH more affordable plans on the PRIVATE Market, often with benefits MUCH richer than Marketplace plans.
