For those still shopping for coverage for this year, the deadline to have coverage by February 1 is rapidly approaching. To get coverage starting then, people need to sign up by midnight on January 15.
To date, 8.8 million Americans had signed up for coverage through HealthCare.gov since the beginning of Open Enrollment in November of last year.
Latinos have benefitted more than just about any other racial or ethnic group since the passing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Over 4.2 million Latinos (ages 18-64) have gained health insurance coverage, lowering the uninsured rate among Latinos by 7.7%.

Financial concerns have been one of the main barriers that prevent people from obtaining health coverage. However, 8 out of 10 people who enroll through HealthCare.gov have qualified for financial help. Many can find policies with that cost $75 or less each month.
