Because New Hampshire runs a federal marketplace, you enroll at HealthCare.gov. Plans and prices are set at the county level across New Hampshire's 10 counties, so two neighbors in different counties can see different options.

New Hampshire expanded Medicaid, so if your income is low you may qualify for Medicaid instead of a subsidized plan — the Marketplace will tell you when you apply.
