i have insurance through my work. but if it's cheaper would i be able to cover my daughter with insurance through the marketplace instead of putting her on my insurance at work?
yes you can choose to do that. however if your employer's plan is considered affordable under the law (meaning your individual premium costs no more than 9. 5% of your income) you won't qualify for subsidized insurance through your state's marketplace. however you may find that even without a tax credit buying a health plan for your daughter outside of work is less expensive. if so there's nothing stopping you from going that route.
