   ACA Discounts

   Remember, only those who use the online government marketplaces [HIEs] to buy insurance are eligible for a subsidy, in the form of a tax credit.

   But, if you make too much money to qualify for a subsidy, you might want to consider purchasing a private health insurance plan, elsewhere. This leaves you with greater flexibility in choosing your health insurance and the possibility of a broader provider network.

   The network of providers, hospitals and facilities is the key; not price.
