The Health Insurance Marketplace is a new place to see, compare, and purchase high-quality private health insurance plans. Every state has its own marketplace and the marketplace in your state may have a distinctive name. Most people will start by visiting the marketplace online but you can also use it in-person, over the phone, through personal helpers called Navigators, or with the help of an insurance agent or broker. To find the marketplace in your state, go to Healthcare.gov and you'll be quickly directed to the right place.
Regardless of what it's called or how you get there, you'll need to gather some information before buying insurance in any of the new marketplaces.
Income records for every member of your immediate family (whether or not they need coverage), for example, pay stubs, W-2 forms, or last year's tax return.
