Barb - When you sign up for a Marketplace plan, your premium would be the amount minus the subsidy. You pay online at the time of enrollment. If you enroll and pay the premium by March 15, your coverage would begin on April 1. If you select coverage by March 16-31, coverage will begin on May 1.

Rose, VA coverage is insurance coverage and you do not need to enroll in the Marketplace. Same with Medicare - Medicare is coverage and you do not need to worry about changing plans in the Marketplace.

Thanks a lot! I really Ppreciate it: And as a side note: PLEASE STOP blaming president Obama for your problems. Most of the people who are having trouble and blame the president smoke, dont exercise, eat horribly, and wont do anything to change their lifestyle. Stop letting politics be your excuse and grow up!

Justin is you don't like it leave. No one is forcing you to be in this chat.

by Rose 2/28/2014 6:30:39 PM
Roger - you need to enroll in coverage whether it be Medicaid, Marketplace, private insurance, employer sponsored insurance, Medicare to avoid the insurance mandate penalty.

Am I eligible for a discount if I do not have income from employement. This would be during the period before I am 62 and will be receiving Social Security. I would be using my savings and investments for my bills. I am 60 years old now and wanted to know my options before having the income from Social Security to report on the Marketplace web site.
