Choice Matters
Group plans offer very limited choice of benefit, if any. The individual marketplace allows you to choose among many more plans to find the right one for you. Choice affords retirees the ability to personalize their healthcare plans and budgets and evolve those choices over the rest of their lives.
A growing individual marketplace
Over the past five years, there has been an increase in more carriers that have entered or re-entered the individual marketplace. With updates in legislation and increased enrollment, retirees now have more choice than ever in selecting a carrier in the marketplace.
