ACA Special Enrollment Period Extended Through August 15
The comprehensive health care reform law enacted in March 2010 (sometimes known as ACA, PPACA, or “Obamacare”).
The ACA law has 3 primary goals:
- Make affordable health insurance available to more people. The law provides consumers with subsidies (“premium tax credits”) that lower costs for households with incomes between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL). Note: If your income is above 400% FPL, you may still qualify for the premium tax credit in 2021.
- Expand the Medicaid program to cover all adults with income below 138% of the FPL. (Not all states have expanded their Medicaid programs.)
- Support innovative medical care delivery methods designed to lower the costs of health care generally.
Additional Rights and Benefits:
- Breastfeeding equipment and support
- Birth control methods and counseling
- Mental health and substance abuse services
- The right to appeal a health plan decision
- The right to choose an individual plan rather than the one your employer offers you
