You can apply through the healthcare.gov website. However, I STRONGLY urge you to apply for your coverage through an independent health insurance broker to make sure your application is processed and your policy placed in force properly - especially considering all of the issues the healthcare.gov website has had in it's first year under the affordable care act.
A health insurance broker broker can help you compare the plans and work with you on a personal level to help determine which health plan will be most suitable to your specific needs and budget.
Please note, you can only apply for health insurance during the annual open enrollment period unless you have a qualifying event for a special enrollment period (e.g. getting married, having a baby, coming off of group coverage, etc.)
