ACA
ACA refers to the Affordable Care Act, the federal health law tied to marketplace coverage, essential health benefits, subsidies, and protections for pre-existing conditions.
Example
A household that lost job-based coverage may need to review ACA marketplace timing, income estimates, household size, and provider access.
Common mistake
A common mistake is assuming ACA marketplace coverage can always be started or changed at any time without an enrollment window or qualifying life event.
