ACA Plans – Frequently Asked Questions

Health insurance, made simple. Here’s what you need to know about ACA coverage.🟡 What is ACA?What does ACA stand for?
ACA stands for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. It’s a health insurance program that provides discounted or even $0 coverage for people based on their income.
How do ACA plans work?
The government provides subsidies (financial help) to lower the monthly cost of insurance. If you qualify, your plan may be free or very low-cost.
✅ Who Qualifies?Can I qualify even if I work or have a 1099 job?
Yes! Many workers, freelancers, Uber drivers, bartenders, and small business owners qualify — even if they make good money. It depends on household size and estimated yearly income.
Do I need to be a U.S. citizen?
Not always. Some immigration statuses qualify too (like green cards, TPS, asylum, or DACA). We’ll review it with you privately.
Can I get a plan if I already have something through work?
Yes, if your job insurance is too expensive or doesn’t meet ACA standards, you may still qualify. Let’s compare.
