It’s Still Around! Open Enrollment For Obamacare Starts Nov 1

October 26, 2017• byMichael Strangeways

Yes, the Trump Regime is committed to killing Obamacare/the Affordable Care Act but it’s STILL AROUND and Open Enrollment is still happening from November 1, 2017 to January 15, 2018! If you need insurance, get ready to enroll starting next Wednesday!

Also remember that if you’re low income with a yearly income less than $16,644 for an individual (or $22,416 for a married couple) you can apply for Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) and may enroll at any time.

Gay City is getting the word out about Open Enrollment…if you need assistance with enrollment, then contact them!

More info via Gay City:

Open Enrollment Begins November 1st!

November 1 – January 15, 2018

You might have heard that Trump cut federal open health insurance enrollment short – that’s true for states that rely on the federal exchange, but Washington has our own exchange and our open enrollment goes from November 1st until January 15, 2018.

That’s no reason to procrastinate – current plans expire at the end of the year, so get your renewal now!

You can find more information on how to enroll at endaidswashington.org/getinsured or wahealthplanfinder.org. Or, if you have questions or need help navigating insurance enrollment, Gay City can also assist you — reach out to us at info@gaycity.org!
