PLANTATION, Fla., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Health insurance carrier Solstice is offering a free 2-week trial of its health care exchange, the Solstice Marketplace, a private health care exchange and benefits enrollment platform.

Not only that, we're proud to announce that Aetna is now offering health benefits on our exchange. "

Some note-worthy Solstice Marketplace features include:

• Flexible and scalable system that allows brokers the flexibility to offer their own plans from any carrier they want as well as choose from our many standard medical and ancillary plans.

• No monthly/annual fee (a convenient one-time registration fee for brokers)
• Convenient, central dashboard for brokers to manage all aspects of their business from a single, easy-to-read screen.
