This page has recently been updated/revised. I've combined this post with the Did You Know Part 2 text post for ease of use and to avoid confusion. It was originally posted in two parts while the series was still active on social media  but it's finished now. I've included a link to the associated image gallery that contains all of the infographics from this series. The original intent was to post this text with the associated images all on one page but lack of control over formatting with the blog templates made it impossible. I'm not a professional web developer or content creator unfortunately and I don't have enough downtime at the moment to learn to code and make my own templates so this is the best I can do. Thank you for your patience.

Correcting misconceptions about the ACA/Marketplace and presenting the facts

I’m adding all of the information here that I used in my posts and I hope others find it as interesting as I did. From the very beginning, there’s been so much misinformation about the ACA and I was really surprised when I learned the truth.

The Affordable Care Act needs protection so it can continue to protect consumers

I think it’s important to correct these false ideas that people have gotten attached to because the ACA and the rights and benefits it has provided to the uninsured will always be needed. Unfortunately, it seems it will also always be under threat. I believe if more people understood it or were even informed about it at all, they would accept it and realize how helpful it is.

Financial assistance makes coverage accessible to so many for whom it once was out of reach

Just speaking for myself, there is NO WAY I would be able to have health insurance coverage today if not for the protections the ACA put in place, as well as the financial aid. If you’re someone who has never applied or figured you don’t need anything from the Marketplace, I encourage you to at least just apply and see if it could be helpful. You have nothing to lose! It’s free to apply and you don’t have to use the financial assistance, even if you qualify for it. You might even find that you like shopping for plans using the filters on HealthCare.gov. They have really perfected the entire process over the years since it started and it’s smooth, streamlined, and designed to get you through it quickly while ensuring that you understand what it’s asking for.
