Under the new health care law, or Obamacare, each state will have an online health care marketplace (also known as an exchange) where people can shop for health insurance. These online health insurance marketplaces are designed to help you compare plan options and purchase the plan that fits your health care needs and budget.
Quick Tip: Did you know many people will be eligible for a tax credit or subsidy to help cover the cost of health insurance? Check out “What is a Health Care Subsidy?” to find out more.
The marketplaces are scheduled to open for people to compare and purchase health insurance on October 1, 2013. Check out the links below to see information on state-by-state marketplaces. Don’t see your state? Check back for updates as the marketplaces continue to develop.

Does this law apply to those living and working overseas?
A lot of US citizens live permanently overseas and are not residents of any state. Any helpful information would be appreciated.
Thanks
I love how this is called the ‘affordable” care act when I am now be asked to pay TWICE AS MUCH than I was paying before this ridiculous law was enacted! What a joke!
If my husband is collecting social security do I have to use his income when using the calculator?
Was what i ended up with from a Washington state success story 🙂 good luck,
R these links to help us get insurance through the obamacare services or they indiviual services??
I live in Washington State … The one that doesn’t have a web site to click to … Not sure what to do from here now … So this TurboTax notification didn’t help for WA State.
Hi Dee,
You can go to https://www.healthcare.gov/ if your state doesn’t have a web site set up.
Thank you,

What about US citizens who live and work overseas?
Many of them are not considered residents of any state because of their residency in a foreign country and they file only federal income not state taxes.
Where do they belong in this new healthcare system and are they eligible for coverage if they dont already have one?
I live in Washington state and there is no link !!?!?! Typed in the web site and not sure what site to click on
Hi Melly,
You can go to https://www.healthcare.gov/ to access your your state’s information and find out eligibility. Also, if you have more specific health insurance questions, please visit TurboTaxAnswerXchange.com
Thank you,
Lisa
Just FYI for above, its Arizona, not “Arizonia”
Nothing for the Washington state? Google searched what is listed since its not a link on this site. When I clicked on the website I was warned it is not a secure site. Therefore this article was useless to me.
Hi anandkuteer,
If you live overseas, you are not required to purchase health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Here is more information: https://ttlc.intuit.com/health-care/1896679-am-i-required-under-obamacare-to-get-insurance-if-i-live-overseas
Hope this helps.

What a joke 2 times I have went in and entered all the info for it to come back and say web site not available at this time. Plus because I can’t afford my ins at work I can’t get help paying for it here. This is a joke joke joke. Plus how can the people who need ins the most fall in any kind of ‘gap’ like my son. He doesn’t make enough to get help with ins but isn’t blind or pregnant so he can’t get medicade duh stupid
I’m having the same problem with my 20-yr-old daughter…seems the incentive is to become pregnant out of wedlock so she can get Medicaid. Really??? She makes about $6800/yr, but doesn’t qualify for a subsidy. This is totally ridiculous!!! How can she afford this?
since I live overseas, I do not have a state to check in with. what do I do for more info?
Is Alabama going to have an online marketplace also?
Hi Mary Ann,
If you live in Alabama, you can shop for insurance and purchase it through the federal marketplace at https://www.healthcare.gov/
