Health Care Reform requires that the states either set up their own marketplace to offer health insurance or have one set up by the federal government. Marketplaces will provide a place where you can compare health plans and buy health insurance. California chose to set up its own Marketplace called Covered California.
Covered California is the State of California’s Marketplace where legal residents of California can buy affordable, high-quality health coverage. Covered California will conduct an Open Enrollment from October 2013 through March 2014, with coverage effective as early as January 2014.
