Yes, legal residents who are non-citizens can get health insurance on the Colorado state exchange (Connect for Health Colorado).
The Chen family, originally from China, had recently settled in Arvada, Colorado. As non-citizen legal residents, they were unfamiliar with the U.S. healthcare system and uncertain about how to obtain health insurance assistance. Concerned about protecting their family’s health, they reached out to our agency for guidance.
We walked the Chen family through health insurance options, explaining how they could qualify for health insurance as legal residents in Colorado. We helped them understand the available plans, including any subsidies they might be eligible for, and supported them through the enrollment process. With our help, the Chen family secured comprehensive health insurance that fit their needs and budget. Today, they are confident in their healthcare coverage, knowing they have access to quality care as they build their new life in Colorado.
