The Affordable Care Act
What you need to know:
- Beginning in 2014 the Individual Mandate requires most Americans to have health insurance. You may be charged a penalty on your federal income tax return for not having coverage.
- Coverage is guaranteed. You and your family will be able to enroll provided that you enroll during open enrollment or a special enrollment period.
- Texas residents can apply for coverage either through the Marketplace (on exchange), www.Healthcare.gov or directly through an insurance carrier (off exchange); however, the only way an individual will qualify for a credit is by purchasing coverage through Healthcare.gov.
