Healthcare Reform
How will healthcare reform changes affect you?
As the Affordable Care Act of 2010 continues to be a topic of debate, the American healthcare and insurance systems are undergoing dramatic changes. Some of the most significant changes are set to occur in 2018, and will impact how you access healthcare insurance and medical care.
KHI stays up-to-the-minute on healthcare legislation – how it impacts individuals, employers and insurers, and how you can affordably access insurance coverage that provides the best medical care with high-quality providers.
We believe you have a right to fully understand your options, too. Therefore, we encourage you to attend one of our free educational seminars or schedule a meeting with a KHI representative today.

These applications will be used in all states with federally facilitated or state partnership Marketplaces. The applications for state-run Marketplaces may differ.
The applications will be used both to apply for coverage and to determine whether an individual or family is eligible for a subsidy.
There are three different applications and instructions for each:
- Individual Short Form – For single adults with no dependents who are not eligible for employer health coverage and who want to determine if they are eligible for subsidies.
- Standard Form – For anyone who is eligible for employer health coverage and wants to determine if they are eligible for subsidies.
- Individual Without Financial Assistance Form – Form that can be used by anyone who does not want to provide employment and income information to determine if they are eligible for subsidies.
Beginning October 1, the forms can be completed online through www.healthcare.gov or paper forms can be submitted by mail by the insured. Agents can complete the paper form with the insured but must transmit it online.
