You don't. It still says right on that site you have to go through healthcare.gov to get a subsidy.

There has never been anything stopping those that don't qualify for a subsidy to directly go through insurers. This is not some big fix-all that some seem to think it is.

Website doesn't work for me. jazzimov Nov 2013 #4

These numbers are wrong - it goes by individual year, not under/over 49 Yo_Mama Nov 2013 #5

It asked me for under/over 49. Also income for subsidies. Good website. ..nt TeeYiYi Nov 2013 #8

How does this make it easier to sign up? B2G Nov 2013 #18

Because you can then contact the insurance company directly jberryhill Nov 2013 #21
