New website to inform Kansans about Obamacare

A new website meant to inform Kansans about the Affordable Care Act went online Tuesday.

At insureKS.org, Kansans can learn about the health insurance options offered through the new federal health care reform law. The Kansas Insurance Department-run website explains the coverage opportunities available through the online insurance exchange, where people in the state can buy insurance and how to find out about federal subsidies to help with the cost.

The website also features an interactive program showing how the 2014 health insurance changes will effect people, an estimator that will calculate premium costs and tax credits for individuals and families, a link to the health insurance exchange, and information about groups offering advice about what’s in the law.
