Marketplace vs Employer vs Private Health Plans: What’s the Difference?


Choosing between different health coverage options? Here’s how they differ:


- Marketplace Plans: Purchased through healthcare.gov or state exchanges. Subsidies may reduce cost.

- Employer-Sponsored Plans: Offered by your employer; premiums are often shared and deducted from your paycheck.

- Private Plans: Bought directly from an insurance company or broker—may offer more choices but without subsidies.


Your eligibility, budget, and coverage needs will help determine which route is best.
