Individual and family health insurance in Colorado

ACA Marketplace plans, Connect for Health Colorado, subsidies, self-employed coverage, catastrophic options, and honest cost expectations for individuals and families.

The short answer

Coloradans who do not have employer coverage usually buy through Connect for Health Colorado, where income-based subsidies lower the monthly premium. Open enrollment runs each fall, and a qualifying life event such as job loss, marriage, or a move opens a Special Enrollment Period at other times of the year.
