Sign up for the Affordable Care Act - Deadline is December 15th

All information taken from Healthcare.gov

The deadline to sign up for the Affordable Care Act for January 2019 coverage is December 15th! The comprehensive health care reform law enacted in March 2010. The law has 3 primary goals:

• Make affordable health insurance available to more people. The law provides consumers with subsidies (“premium tax credits”) that lower costs for households with incomes between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
• Expand the Medicaid program to cover all adults with income below 138% of the federal poverty level. (Not all states have expanded their Medicaid programs.)
• Support innovative medical care delivery methods designed to lower the costs of health care generally.

Healthcare.gov can walk you through renewing or obtaining new coverage. You can also have someone contact you about the program or go find local assistance. You can also learn about the plans before you log into or create an account through their quick start guide. 

Unsure about what documentation you'll need to sign up? Healthcare.gov also provides a "Marketplace Application Checklist"
