Starting October 1st, Wisconsin women will be able to enroll in women-friendly health plans through the new Health Insurance Marketplace thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA)! Having health insurance is important! It means that if you or a family member gets sick, you won't have to worry about big medical bills or going bankrupt.  Here's what you need to know about new health plan options! You will be able to choose a plan that fits your budget. Plans will be available at different prices. Some people will get free or low-cost insurance, while others will receive financial aid to help buy a plan. You will be able to find a plan that covers the care you need.   All health plans must cover the basic care you need. This includes doctor visits, prenatal and maternity care, emergency room visits, hospital stays, mental health and prescription drugs (including birth control without co-pays). You will be able to get help choosing the plan that is best for you.  You will be able to easily understand what your plan will cover and how much it will cost. You can get help online, over the phone or in person to pick the plan that is best for you and learn what financial aid you can get.  Learn more by visiting https://www.healthcare.gov/ and Pledge to Enroll today!
