Choosing a health insurance plan is not something to take "lightly".

Finding an affordable health plan is not easy.

Obtaining a quality, affordable, health insurance plan is difficult for a variety of reasons.  At the root of the problem is the fact that health insurance in America is changing rapidly - largely as a result of the Affordable Care Act.  The percentage of Americans eligible for ACA coverage has increased.  Consequently, more Americans are now taking advantage.  In addition, a higher percentage of Americans are eligible for ACA subsidies, making the plans more attractive to more consumers.

Furthermore, a significant percentage of Americans who were previously covered by Medicaid are now eligible for ACA health insurance coverage.

As a result of all these changes, an avalanche of fresh data has flooded the internet.  The average consumer has a difficult time figuring out what is what, because so much of the information is inadequate or misleading.

In addition, with so many other things to concern themselves with, most people do not put a lot of time into keeping up with the intricacies of U.S. health insurance.  They need help.  They need a licensed health insurance broker that is willing to concisely explain the various new options that are available to them.  In Virginia these days, finding that expert help can be challenging. 


ACA is more affordable.

In Virginia, Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance plan options are more affordable than they were in previous years.  This is because the subsidies provided by the federal government are larger.  In addition, more Americans now qualify for a subsidy.
