Now it's up to you to make sure your friends and family start the New Year with a healthy step forward. And that starts with getting covered.
If your friends and family sign up before the end of today, their coverage is guaranteed to start on New Year’s Day of 2017. Here are three things you need to share with them today.
Financial help is available to make coverage more affordable. In fact, most current Marketplace consumers can buy a plan for $75 or less a month in premiums after tax credits. And nearly 85 percent of consumers shopping on the Marketplace are eligible for financial assistance.
It's easier to sign up in a number of ways. For example, people can search for plans based on whether they cover a particular doctor or prescription. And we've made it easier than ever to shop on mobile devices.
There are people available to help, in multiple languages. People can visitLocalHelp.HealthCare.gov to find a location with in-person help. Or they can speak with someone over the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in English or in Spanish, at 1-800-318-2596.
I'm not the only one who wants to make sure that they're covered. Take it from President Obama and Bill Murray -- this stuff matters.
So don’t wait. Tell your friends and family that affordable coverage could be just a few clicks away.
