In this Friday, Jan. 24, 2014 photo, Marie Cadet poses for a photo at her home in Miami. Cadet, 54, a licensed practical nurse, often works double shifts at a rehab facility to make ends meet for herself and her 12-year-old daughter. She was paying more than $150 a month on health insurance through her employer, with a $3,000 deductible, but she often didn't know if she would be able to make the payments, not to mention the additional $80 a month to cover her blood pressure medicine. After choosing a plan from the new health insurance marketplace, Cadet's monthly payment dropped to $86 a month, with the government kicking in $300. Her deductible fell to a more affordable $900.

In this Feb. 3, 2014 photo, Maureen Grey poses for a photo in Chicago. For many older Americans who lost jobs during the recession, the quest for health care has been one obstacle after another. Grey, a 58-year-old Chicagoan, finally saw a doctor this month after a fall in September left her in constant pain. Laid off twice from full-time jobs in the past five years, she saw her income drop from $60,000 to $17,800 a year. Now doing temp work, she was uninsured for 18 months before she chose a marketplace plan for $68 a month. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)
