(10,909 posts)For most states (which don't have a state exchange) that is healthcare.gov. For states with state exchanges, like Covered California in California or MNSure in Minnesota, you MUST enroll at the state exchange to get the subsidy for private insurance.
Many websites, including HealthSherpa.com, Medica, HealthPartners, and MNSURE, say that.
What the rules are for people who are Medicare-eligible, that I don't know. But since you are getting advice to state your income high enough to qualify for private insurance with the subsidy, I felt I should mention this.
On Edit 132a CT I see your state is Indiana and that it doesn't have a state health exchange, so yeah, if you want to get the subsidy for private insurance, you MUST choose the plan and enroll at healthcare.gov
