All people who live in Wisconsin have access to health insurance. It may come from different sources based on what you can afford. You or your family may get coverage for your health care through: An employer. The federal Health Insurance Marketplace (HealthCare.gov). The private market. Wisconsin’s public health care program, BadgerCare Plus.

However, in Wisconsin – as in most other states – you have limited guaranteed access to individual health insurance in the private market. There are some alternatives to private individual health insurance – such as COBRA coverage, state continuation coverage, and Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk Pool coverage.
