Open Enrollment Year 9 (OE9) started Monday and is doing so with some of the lowest premiums ever found on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. For instance, did you know that 80% of people can find a plan that costs less than $10 per month with financial assistance, along with expanded plan options? These details are laid out in a press release from CMS which includes testimonials including a mother of two young children in Florida paying $0 per month. The CMS press release also highlights the addition of over 1,500 new Navigators to make the enrollment process accessible in almost every county within the country as well as collaboration with over 2,100 local organizations to reach marginalized communities making it easier than ever for consumers to sign up for affordable coverage. Consumers and current enrollees can go to healthcare.gov’s find local assistance tool in order to to find local help or reach a Marketplace-registered agent.
