Reply to comment by ghostlypyres in Help Finding Health Insurance Coverage by ananas33333

I thought all of the marketplace web sites, regardless of state, are central starting points for all insurance except Medicare. “Obamacare” isn’t well defined and doesn’t always mean just people below the poverty line.

Anyway, the mahealthconnector.org site is a good starting point for everyone except for Medicare (remembering that Medicare means seniors or permanently disabled, not low income people).

The estimate button is a good starting point. It just needs a zip code, so take a guess as to your likely location. I don’t think there’s much difference, if any, for the counties including and around Boston. Then you’ll have to drill down to the individual provider web sites.

Thank you! I hadn't mentioned it but shortly after the post I'd made the facepalm level discovery that there are two buttons there, one prominent one to show you if you qualify for credits, and one less prominent that is exactly what you're describing. It helped to get an idea for sure. I'm also now planning to use that list to contact individual providers, as you mention. Thanks!
