How to Get Affordable Health Insurance Coverage in 2019.
Under ObamaCare – every one of you must have health insurance, or you will have to pay a penalty. Pretty much any type of coverage will meet the requirement of this mandate. Private insurance and employer insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Affairs, CHIP, the Indian Health Service or the Tricare.
Penalties are calculated 2 different ways. First way is to use the percentage of your total household adjusted gross income as equated on your tax return for the year / OR / a flat rate. Whichever amount is greater. Use your tax return to determine what your penalty will be.
These penalties will increase each year keeping pace with annual inflation encouraging people to purchase insurance coverage.
For the 2016 tax year, with a maximum of $2,085.00, penalties will rise to 2.5% for each total household adjusted gross income, or it will be $695.00 per each adult and then it will be $347.50 per each child.
The percentage option will stay at 2.5% for the 2017 tax year and beyond, however the flat fee will continue to be adjusted with inflation.

Health Insurance plans will be offered by private companies, and they cover the same core set of benefits called essential health benefits. No plans may turn you down or charge you more because you currently have an illness and or medical condition. They must cover treatments for these conditions. For example, plans cannot charge women more than men for the same plan.
If you have a pre-existing condition, you cannot be refused under this plan. Insurers also cannot charge you more just because you are, or have been sick. Once you get insurance coverage, companies can’t not treat you for any conditions you may have had prior to your application and approval. Amazingly enough, this holds true even if you have been refused coverage and/or treatments in the past.
Dental Insurance is also available as part of a general insurance plan, or more likely – a separate dental insurance plan. You need to know that the health care law states that dental insurance is treated differently if you are an adult or a child under 18. For individuals under 18 dental insurance is considered essential health services and are covered by most plans. This is not the case for adults. It is difficult to get a dental plan for adults since insurance companies are not obliged to provide dental insurance to adults like they are for kids.

Can you keep your own physician?
That depends on the type of plan you choose. Many, if not most of the plans offered have their own network of doctors, specialists, pharmacies and various health care providers. It’s sort of a clique. They look after themselves first. If you really want to stay with your own doctor, and you want to wither get, or change the health care plan you have – check to see if your doctor is included in the plan’s network.
Subsidies for Individuals. Do you worry that you can’t afford health insurance? On your state’s marketplace, as an individual – you may actually qualify for a subsidy.

This subsidy money will be a new sort of a tax credit that you can use immediately to lower the costs of the insurance premiums.
