Where the heck do you buy insurance for 2015???

Wed, 11/12/2014 - 1:42pm

With all the Open Enrollment Period changes for 2015 (#OE2), it can get confusing to follow where you're supposed to go to buy an ACA-compliant healthcare policy this time around (especially if you qualify for tax credits to help pay for it, which includes a good 85% or so of the people enrolling). Two states moved from their own websites over to Healthcare.Gov; one did the opposite; and still others have a "split decision" where you visit one site for individual/family policies and another for small business policies.

Thanks to Zane Benefits for helping sort it all out; I've reformatted the info into an easier-to-follow table:
