The Health Insurance Marketplace.

You have new rights and protections in the Marketplace starting in 2014.
Here’s how the Marketplace helps women.
4 things for women to know:

You won’t be charged more for health insurance just because you’re a woman.
You can’t be denied coverage or charged more due to pre-existing conditions, like cancer or being pregnant.
You can choose from any primary care provider, OB-GYN, or pediatrician in your health plan’s network without a referral.
You’ll get free preventive care like mammograms, well-woman visits, contraception, and more.

Open enrollment begins on October 1, 2013. Coverage starts as soon as January 1, 2014.
