ATTENTION, CALIFORNIA: health insurance has never been this affordable.

If you are uninsured — As part of a new federal stimulus, many Californians will save more money than ever with increased financial help to lower the cost of health insurance.

If you’re paying too much for the insurance you have now — It’s likely you could get the same plan for less. 2.5 million Californians are now eligible for financial help. There’s more help for those who couldn’t afford coverage before, and more help for hundreds of thousands who’ve never been eligible.

This way to health insurance.
