Consumers Rush to Enroll Before First Covered California Deadline
Covered California has extended its enrollment deadline for consumers who want coverage effective January 1, 2019, to this Friday, December 21, 2018. The announcement came after a federal judge in Texas decided to strike down the Affordable care Act. Read Covered CA’s latest press release here.
Open enrollment is full-steam ahead and continues in California and other states for several more weeks,” said Peter Lee, Covered California’s executive director. “No one in California should let this ruling discourage them from enrolling in health coverage or be worried about using the health plan they have.” While enrollment seemed to have dropped about 11 percent as of November 30th, 58,000 people enrolled last Monday, signaling increased enrollment activity.
