In Massachusetts, Celticare offers two main health insurance programs. They are called Careplus and Ambetter. One is a "marketplace plan" in the language of the federal Affordable Care Care (a.k.a. Obamacare) and the other is not. However, both programs meet the definition of having individual health insurance for purposes of avoiding federal (and state) tax penalties.
