Open Enrollment for Affordable Care Act Plans ends Soon
Time is running out to enroll in health insurance coverage for 2025 through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. The deadline to select a plan is this Sunday. Coverage will begin on January 1,2025.
According to the latest federal data, nearly one million uninsured individuals have signed up for coverage in 2025. Additionally, almost 4.4 million people who already have Marketplace plans have renewed their coverage for next year.
Those who don’t actively renew their existing plans will be automatically reenrolled. Florida has seen a significant number of residents enrolling, with almost 1.5 million individuals signing up for a new plan or renewing their existing coverage.
