Last-Minute Opportunity for ACA Health Insurance Enrollment
December 16, 2024 - 21:58
If you missed the deadline to purchase a marketplace health plan for coverage starting January 1, there is good news. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has extended the enrollment deadline to December 18. This extension provides an additional three days for individuals and families seeking health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace.
The decision to extend the deadline comes as many Americans are still navigating the complexities of health insurance options. With rising healthcare costs and ongoing public health concerns, having access to affordable health insurance is more crucial than ever. The ACA marketplace offers a range of plans that cater to different needs and budgets, making it an essential resource for those without coverage.
This extension allows consumers to review their options more thoroughly, ensuring they can make informed decisions about their health care needs. Those interested in securing coverage should take advantage of this opportunity before the new deadline.
