About Covered California
Covered California is the
state’s marketplace for the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Covered California was charged with creating a new health insurance marketplace
in which individuals and small businesses can get access to affordable health
insurance plans. With coverage starting in 2014, Covered California will help
individuals compare health insurance plans and choose the plan that works best
for their health needs and budget. A sliding scale of financial subsidies in
the form of premium assistance will be available to help reduce costs for
people who qualify. Small businesses will be able to purchase competitively
priced health insurance plans and offer their employees the ability to choose
from an array of plans and may qualify for federal tax credits. Covered
California is an independent part of the state government whose job is to make the
new market work for California’s consumers. It is overseen by a five-member
board appointed by the Governor and the Legislature. For more information on
