“This coming December 15, a critical window to sign up for health insurance closes, a deadline you may have missed due to the Trump administration’s rollback of public education efforts around the Affordable Care Act. But despite its well-publicized efforts to repeal the ACA, the lifesaving law very much remains in place, continuing to provide vital options for potential patients of every age.Through cost-reducing subsidies and comprehensive plans that meet the needs of patients, many of the Americans who were once priced out of health insurance now have affordable options available to them through Healthcare.gov. And for our LGBTQ community, the law and its plans have had a particular impact on our health and access to care.“
Signal boost because we all hate paper work and this can safe your life (and a lot of money).
If you are having problems with the sign-up process in any way, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND calling. I have been having a nightmare issue (not of the marketplace’s doing, but the shitstain state of Michigan’s) and a rep spent 35 mins on the phone with me, offering to stay on longer, if she had to to make sure I could get my plan up and running.
This wasn’t the first time I’ve had to contact them (again, fuck you Michigan), and I’ve never had a bad issue with any of their reps. I know it can be VERY difficult to make that call, but I urge you to if you need any kind of assistance.
