Why DChealth link ?
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law a comprehensive health care reform bill, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Affordable Care Act is a federal law which requires each state to establish its own health insurance exchange or work with federal exchanges in which to provide a competitive marketplace where individuals and small business owners will be able to find coverage.
In January 2012, Mayor Gray signed a bill into law to establish the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority, which was instrumental in creating the Washington DC Health Link. Many individuals in the District of Columbia area use DC Health Link as their primary insurance marketplace, covering individuals from fast food workers to members of Congress. Effective July 2016, new insurance requirements for employers in Washington DC require employers to use the DC Health Link system for purchasing health insurance for their employees. DC employers are only permitted to work with brokers who are certified and appointed to work through the DC healthcare exchange, forcing many employers to find new brokers.

What Is the DC Health Link?
After the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority created the DC Health Link and continues to operate and oversee the system. DC Health Link offers individuals and small businesses to comparison shop for coverage between a variety of operators and plans. Those eligible for DC Health Link include individuals living in the Washington DC area, or small businesses with locations within the District of Columbia.
