When does Obamacare enrollment end December 15?

in prior years there were enrollment periods in Jan? Is that gone?

Is it true as moveon.org is promoting, that you can get covered for $50 to $100 a month?

I'm sure last time I looked they wanted 3-4 hundred a month

If you are doing it, do it NOW (tomorrow). So much varies from start to state. They are on the phones with people in Covered CA until 8:00 PM. Lines are open and they have most of the bugs worked out. I asked about changes in 2018 and if the GOP grew a heart and if their horrible changes were corrected somehow when the changes would go into effect and they told me not until 2019.

The window to shop for 2018 plans is closing -- log in to HealthCare.gov as soon as possible and review your 2018 options.

However, some states that operate their own exchanges still have an enrollment period ending on January 15. That's the case here in Washington.

It might be possible to get coverage of some kind for $50 to $100 a month, or even less, depending on your income, where you live, and other factors. It's impossible to know for sure until you go to the website, enter your information and look at the plans. Or contact an ACA Navigator for help.

In Michigan the major insurers have pulled out and now only cover medicare drug plans.

I can pay $30 a month and have to pay 100% of everything or pay $300 a month and pay 50% of everything. My pension will be 20k this year. This is a scam!
