In this episode, podcast hosts Levi Rickert and Kristen Bitsuie welcome guest Yvonne Myers, an Affordable Care Act and Medicaid Consultant for Citizen Potawatomi Nation Health Services with more than four decades of experience in public health. Together, they discuss the Health Insurance Marketplace, which is the federal government's online market where people can look at and compare private health insurance options. The Health Insurance Marketplace is an option if you do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid or want to look at other health insurance options.
