Today
is last day for enrollment in the Affordable Care Act program for health
insurance program that starts on January 1, 2017.
According
to Bess Evans, Senior Associate Director of Public Engagement and Senior Policy
Advisor to The White House, “Now it's up to you to make sure your friends and
family start the New Year with a healthy step forward. And that starts with
getting covered.
“If
you want health insurance that starts on January 1, 2017, today’s the day to
visit HealthCare.gov and enroll!” he added
He
said that “Financial help is available to make coverage more affordable. In
fact, most current Marketplace consumers can buy a plan for $75 or less a month
in premiums after tax credits. And nearly 85 percent of consumers shopping on
the Marketplace are eligible for financial assistance.
“It's
easier to sign up in a number of ways. For example, people can search for plans
based on whether they cover a particular doctor or prescription. And we've made
it easier than ever to shop on mobile devices.
“There
are people available to help, in multiple languages. People can visit
LocalHelp.HealthCare.gov to find a location with in-person help. Or they can
speak with someone over the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in English
or in Spanish, at 1-800-318-2596” he said.
