Under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), most employers are required to offer a health insurance plan to their employees.
This is usually called private insurance.
They might have a few plans to choose from.
Here's what you can do:
-
Contact your employer's Human Resource (HR) department.
-
Ask them about your insurance options.
-
Tell them about your family member who has a disability, and ask if they can help you pick one that may be best.
-
Make sure to find out about the benefits and monthly costs for each choice. You'll have to pay a monthly cost for the insurance plan. These payments are called premiums.
