Health insurance in Nebraska

ACA & Obamacare plans in Nebraska

Nebraska residents shop for Affordable Care Act plans through HealthCare.gov, the federal Health Insurance Marketplace. Open Enrollment for 2027 coverage runs from November 1, 2026 to January 15, 2027, and you need to enroll by December 15, 2026 for coverage that starts January 1. Outside Open Enrollment, a qualifying life event such as losing job-based coverage, moving, getting married, or having a baby can let you enroll.

Nebraska expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Adults with household income up to 138% of the federal poverty level may qualify for Medicaid instead of a Marketplace plan. If your income is above that, you may qualify for premium tax credits that lower the cost of a Marketplace plan. Your advisor can help you figure out which applies to you.

Every ACA plan sold in Nebraska covers essential health benefits, and plans can’t turn you down or charge you more for a pre-existing condition. Learn how ACA plans work.
