Who is eligible to enroll in a health insurance plan through the Marketplace?

Asked a year ago
Anyone who is a U.S. citizen or legal resident can be eligible to enroll in a health insurance plan through the Marketplace. This includes individuals and families who don't have access to affordable employer-sponsored coverage. Some specific requirements may apply, such as living in the state where they want to enroll and not being incarcerated. Additionally, there is a special enrollment period for those who experience certain qualifying life events, such as getting married or having a baby. Those who qualify for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) can also enroll through the Marketplace. Overall, the Marketplace provides options for a wide range of individuals and families who want to secure comprehensive health insurance coverage.
