Colorado’s health insurance open enrollment season has arrived, and you’ll want to act fast. This year, there’s a shorter window of opportunity— until Jan. 12, 2018 — to enroll in a health insurance plan or make changes to an existing plan. If you want your coverage to be effective starting Jan. 1, 2018, however, you must have your application submitted no later than Dec. 15, 2017.
The Affordable Care Act — known as Obamacare — has been in the news a great deal over the past several months. Many health care consumers are confused about what the upcoming open enrollment season means to them. In a nutshell, despite repeal efforts at the federal level, the Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land. And with numerous changes in plan design and the cost of premiums, it’s important to shop around, whether or not you’re obtaining new coverage or already are covered.
