ANSWER

The Marketplaces in all states treat same-sex married couples the same as opposite-sex couples. Assuming you file or plan to file your federal income taxes as a married couple, you can apply for premium tax credits as a married couple. (Healthcare.gov, Health care coverage options for same-sex married couples.)
