The deadline to sign up for health coverage for 2017 as part of Open Enrollment is today!
Those who sign up for coverage through Marketplace have until midnight tonight to sign up. Coverage purchased this year will be good for all of 2017.
In shopping for plans, most people have been able to obtain coverage for less than $75 a month due to financial assistance that’s available.
In order to reduce health disparities, it is critical to address inequities in programs, practices, and policies. Join our site, connect with others, and get involved.
Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), over 910,000 Latino adults – between the ages of 19 and 26 – who would have previously been without coverage were now eligible to remain on their parents’ plans.
Over 4.2 million gained health insurance in that time as well, lowering the rate of Latino uninsured by 7.7%.
For those still in need of coverage, visit www.healthcare.gov or call (800) 318-2596.
