plans purchased through the marketplaces are paid for with after-tax dollars which is just one reason why employer-sponsored plans are generally a better deal (employers also cover 70%-80% of your premiums). however if your income qualifies you you may receive a tax credit which will lower your monthly health insurance premiums.
do you have to pay taxes on health plans in the health insurance marketplace at the end of the year? . or are they pre-taxed like employer-sponsored plans?
