For Immediate Release
ACA Enrollment Deadline
Most of the ACA’s big deadlines have passed. The individual insurance mandate — one of the most controversial parts of the law — required that almost all Americans have health insurance by Jan. 1, 2014. A three-month grace period has allowed those without insurance to avoid a penalty during the first part of the year.
However, March 31 ends both that grace period and open enrollment for individual insurance. Unlike years past, when people bought insurance whenever they wanted, the ACA now limits insurance sales to a specific time window, whether or not they’re sold through the marketplace.
The current open enrollment period ends March 31. Mr. McGuire is available for media interviews through the remainder of the week and day of deadline.
If you would like to set up an interview, please contact: Elliott Bottorf of E.D. Bellis, Inc. at (402) 570-3935.
