Health coverage

Affordable Choice: An ACA Alternative

Affordable Choice is a budget-friendly health plan for people the Marketplace does not fit. It pays set benefits for things like hospital stays and surgery, often for a lower monthly cost than full-price ACA.

The quick version

If you only read one thing, read this

  • 1

    Fixed cash benefits for covered events, like a set amount per hospital day or per surgery, plus wellness visits.

  • 2

    A fixed monthly premium based on your age and who is covered. Predictable, with no surprise coinsurance percentage.
