Decision-making experiences of consumers choosing individual-market health insurance plans.
This study researched the experiences of consumers choosing individual-market health insurance plans using either Marketplaces established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or directly through an insurance carrier. Consumers in 2017 reported that they had an easier overall experience using Marketplace than those who enrolled directly. Consumers with low health literacy had poor experiences with either method.
