You’re shopping for health insurance? High five.
But you might have some concerns.
It’s totally natural to wonder how much it’ll cost.
BUT here’s something important to know: You could get help paying for your health insurance.
No, really -- millions already got help paying for their insurance.
Andreea in Michigan found a plan for just $5.23 a month.
Pam in Pennsylvania got covered for $9.43 a month.
Sondra in North Carolina is paying $10.56 a month for health insurance.
Elsie in Michigan got covered for 22 cents a month.
WHAT? THAT’S NOT EVEN A QUARTER A MONTH.
Larry in North Carolina is paying around $10 a month.
Reinette, a cancer survivor, is paying around 17 cents a month.
Sam in Pennsylvania is paying about $21 a month with financial help.
You might think it all sounds too good to be true, like otters holding hands.
Over 4 out of 5 people who already signed up for health insurance in the Marketplace got help paying for it.
The average monthly cost for those who got financial help? Just $82.
Not to beat you over the head with it, but compare that with the average cost of fixing a broken bone without health insurance: $7,500.
Or the average cost of ONE night in the hospital without health insurance: $10,000.
Or the cost of the fine for not having health insurance.
It’s more this year: $325 or 2% of your income -- whichever is more.
Health insurance might be way more affordable than you think.
You’ll just love the feeling of having health insurance.
