Starting in January , most people will be required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act "Affordable Care Act," also known as "Obama Care" to have health insurance or pay a penalty if they don't.

Coverage can include employer-provided insurance, coverage you buy on your own, Medicare or Medi-Cal. The Affordable Care Act has created a new type of online marketplace for purchasing health insurance coverage for individuals without such insurance.

This marketplace is referred to as a Health Insurance Marketplace, or an Exchange. Beginning in October , you will be able to find and compare health insurance plans through the Marketplace and coverage may start as early as January 1, HOWEVER, there is no penalty or fine to employers for not providing this notice.
