The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) will unveil the new Health Insurance Marketplace on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Plans will go into effect Jan. 1. With the new marketplace, individuals can buy insurance from private health plans that cover a comprehensive set of benefits, including doctor visits, hospital stays, preventative care and prescriptions.
The recently-passed state budget made changes to the state's BadgerCare program. Under those changes, parents currently enrolled in BadgerCare who make more than $15,500 for a couple will receive a letter soon telling them they will lose coverage through the state and must sign up for a private plan through the marketplace. About 90,000 people are expected to lose coverage.
