Open Enrollment begins for the Health Insurance Exchanges
Despite the current Supreme Court challenge to the ACA, open enrollment is about to begin for those looking to purchase health insurance on the law’s Health Insurance Exchanges. A recent analysis from Kaiser Family Foundation predicts only modest fluctuations to premium prices compared to the previous year. From November 1st to December 15th, the federal marketplace will be open, offering subsidies for individuals with demonstrated financial need. Those who miss the December 15th cutoff will need to qualify for a Special Enrollment Period to purchase coverage after the deadline.
