Affordable Care Act marketplace
Open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance marketplace is underway.
On WMNF’s Tuesday Café we talked about how you can get help from a navigator to choose the Obamacare plan that’s best for you and to find out if you are eligible for financial assistance.
Our guest was Katie Roders Turner, the executive director of the Family Healthcare Foundation.
Open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance marketplace ends in mid-January (for coverage to begin by February). Enroll by December 15 for coverage to begin January 1, 2025.
Listen to the full show:
Most customers in the HealthCare.gov health insurance marketplace will be able to get financial assistance and coverage for as little as $10 per month or less.
One major change this year is that DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients are now eligible.
