Visit Get Covered Illinois to learn about affordable health care insurance

The Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace called "Get Covered Illinois" opened for enrollment on October 1, 2013. It has been created to implement the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare," in Illinois.

If you have insurance through an employer, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or the VA, you do not need to enroll in Get Covered Illinois.

If you purchase your own insurance or are uninsured, Get Covered Illinois will allow you to compare various coverage options and buy coverage that can begin as early as January 1, 2014.

There is help available for you to pick the plan that is right for you and you have until March 31, 2014 to enroll. Depending on your income, if you buy through Get Covered Illinois there will be subsidies available to help you purchase coverage and pay your out-of-pocket expenses.
