Why it is so hard to find affordable health insurance.

Finding an affordable health insurance plan is difficult for good reason.  The problem is the fact that health insurance in America is changing.  The Affordable Care Act is having a greater impact within the health insurance market than ever before.  More Americans are eligible.  More Americans are qualifying for subsidies.

All the changes to the Affordable Care Act eligibility, rules and guidelines are just beginning to filter down to the average consumer.  Most consumers are only getting bits and pieces.  Confusion is the result. 

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 Missouri these days, finding that expert help can be challenging. 


ACA is more affordable.

In Missouri, 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.
