Health insurance by state

Which insurers actually sell marketplace plans where you live. 170 issuers across 1,852 counties in 30 states, for plan year 2026.

The number of insurers offering plans varies enormously by county. Some counties have a single option; others have a dozen. This shows which.

Why only these states

Thirty states use the federal marketplace at HealthCare.gov, and CMS publishes their plan and coverage data openly. The remaining states run their own exchanges — California, New York, Colorado and others — and publish separately, in different formats. We cover the federal marketplace here rather than presenting incomplete national figures.

What a marketplace plan is

Marketplace plans are individual health policies sold through the exchange created by the Affordable Care Act. They must cover a standard set of essential benefits, cannot refuse you for a pre-existing condition, and may come with income-based subsidies.

They are not the only way to buy health insurance, but they are the only market where coverage, pricing and issuer participation are published as public data — which is why these pages are possible at all.
