Louisiana expanded Medicaid in 2016 and added over 500,000 adults to coverage. The ACA marketplace covers 270,000+ Louisianans with an average net premium of $70/month after subsidies. Medicare covers 900,000+ Louisiana residents. Louisiana has the highest uninsured rate among Medicaid expansion states due to its high poverty rate.
Louisiana residents have access to health coverage through multiple channels: the ACA Marketplace (healthcare.gov), off-marketplace private plans from carriers like Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Cigna, Medicaid for qualifying low-income individuals, and employer-sponsored group plans.
The right plan depends on your income, family size, preferred doctors, and how much flexibility you want in choosing providers. Insurance Answers USA helps you compare every option available at your address — completely free.
