About Covered California
Covered California is charged with creating a new marketplace in which
individuals and small businesses can get access to affordable health insurance.
With coverage starting in 2014, Covered California will help individuals
compare health insurance plans and choose the one that works best for their
health needs and budget. Financial help will be available from the federal
government to help reduce costs for people who qualify on a sliding scale.
Small businesses will be able to purchase competitively priced health plans and
offer their employees the ability to choose from an array of plans and may
qualify for federal tax credits.
Covered California is an independent part of the state government whose job is
to make the new market work for California’s consumers. Covered California is a
state agency responsible for implementing the federal Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act in California. It is overseen by a five-member board
appointed by the Governor and the California State Legislature. For more
