Why Bronze or Gold can beat Silver in Texas

Texas requires insurers to price Silver plans higher. For many Houston households with tax credits, that makes some Bronze and Gold plans cost less than you'd expect. I'll show you the numbers side by side before you choose.

What changes for 2027 in Texas

Texas has about 13 Marketplace insurers for 2027, and the average proposed increase is about 13.1% before subsidies. Cigna and Baylor Scott & White Health Plan are leaving, so their members must pick a new plan. See insurers leaving in 2027.

Your doctors and hospitals

Networks can differ a lot from plan to plan. Before you choose, I'll help you check whether your doctors and preferred hospitals, such as Memorial Hermann, Houston Methodist and HCA Houston Healthcare, are in the plan's network.

Medicaid in Texas

Texas has not expanded Medicaid, so many adults with income below the poverty level don't qualify for Medicaid or Marketplace tax credits. I'll help you see what options you have.
