A quick checklist
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
