Health Insurance Marketplace

保険マーケットプレイス (hoken māketopureisu)

The Health Insurance Marketplace (also called the Exchange) is a platform created by the ACA where individuals and families can compare and purchase ACA-compliant health insurance plans. Plans are organized into metal tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) based on actuarial value. Eligible enrollees may receive Advanced Premium Tax Credits and Cost-Sharing Reductions to lower their costs. The federal marketplace is accessible at HealthCare.gov; some states operate their own exchanges.

The Marketplace is the primary insurance option for self-employed individuals, part-time workers, and those without employer-sponsored coverage.
