Why ACA
What the ACA Marketplace Offers Texas Families
$0–$50/Month Premiums
Premium tax credits reduce your monthly cost based on income. Many Texans pay under $50/month for real coverage.
Pre-Existing Conditions Covered
ACA plans cannot deny you or charge more for pre-existing conditions — cancer, diabetes, heart disease, anything.
No Network Surprises
Choose from HMO and PPO plans with access to major Texas hospital systems including Baylor, Methodist, and more.
Prescription Drug Coverage
All ACA plans include prescription drug coverage — generic and brand-name medications at discounted rates.
Free Preventive Care
Annual checkups, screenings, vaccines, and preventive services are covered at no cost — even before your deductible.
Children & Family Coverage
Cover your entire family under one plan. Kids stay on your plan until age 26.

Common Questions
ACA Health Insurance Texas — FAQ
Who qualifies for ACA subsidies in Texas?
Most Texans earning between 100% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Level qualify for premium tax credits. A single person earning up to $58,320/year (2026) and a family of four earning up to $120,000/year may qualify. Many people earning above those limits still qualify under the American Rescue Plan extensions.
When can I enroll in an ACA plan?
Open Enrollment for 2026 plans runs November 1 — January 15. You may also qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you had a life event: lost job-based coverage, got married, had a baby, moved, or experienced other qualifying events. Call (940) 245-6001 to check if you qualify now.
What’s the difference between Bronze, Silver, and Gold?
Bronze = lower premium, higher out-of-pocket. Silver = medium premium, often the best value (especially with subsidies). Gold = higher premium, lower deductible. For most Texans with subsidies, Silver plans offer the best overall value — David can run the numbers for your situation.
Can I keep my current doctor?
Possibly yes — it depends on the plan’s network. When you compare plans on HealthSherpa, you can filter by whether your doctor is in-network. David can also help you verify this before you enroll.
What if I’m self-employed or a 1099 contractor?
ACA marketplace plans are perfect for self-employed Texans. Your net business income determines your subsidy eligibility. Many self-employed Texans get $0/month or very low-cost coverage. David specializes in finding the best options for self-employed clients.
