Pardon my ignorance but, what is this? Can someone describe, please?

That's just the fancy name for the government-run websites (including telephone or one-on-one personal help) that people buy their health insurance. Only insurance bought from these websites is eligible for the Premium tax Credit. The federally-run one is www.Heathcare.gov and is where people in most states buy the insurance (most States did not set up their own website systems).

No the insurance company takes the money from your account each month. If you are receiving a subsidy the exchange pays that to the insurance company.
