December 15 Deadline

December 15 is the deadline for ACA 2018 health insurance enrollment. If you have health insurance for 2018, great! If not, you may want to check on ACA Marketplace Health Insurance for security and to avoid tax penalty. In 2015 Union County had a 18.8% uninsured rate among working age adults, much higher than the state average.
Open enrollment is Nov. 1 - Dec. 15 except Sundays. Call toll free 844-644-5443 with questions or to arrange free help to learn more or to enroll. Go online healthcare.gov to enroll yourself or window shop. Enroll by phone by calling 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325) anytime.
Individuals who miss the December 15 deadline may lose coverage for 2018 and may incur a tax penalty of $695/uninsured person. Plan subsidies help moderate and low income families pay. For example, individuals earning just over $12,060/yr may qualify for significant tax credits and subsidies such that some will pay zero dollars in premiums.
