states may create a payment plan – we don’t know yet whether states will do this – but in general the expectation is that individuals will pay the insurer directly each month for their share of the premium for the health plan they’ve chosen in the marketplace. it is likely that the insurer will send a monthly bill just like you receive a bill for electricity that you use in your home.
do i have to pay when i sign up for a policy in the health exchanges or is there a payment plan?
