Deadline to get coverage in 2017 ends on January 31

Making sure you saw Friday’s news about the Affordable Care Act. Please remind your community to signup for coverage before tomorrow’s deadline to ensure that they have health care in 2017.

According to Politico, “The last five days of the open enrollment season are seen as critical because many individuals procrastinate and then join a last-minute sign-up surge. That’s particularly true for younger and healthier customers who are crucial to making insurance markets work.”

The “ad budget” includes everything from online advertising to reminder emails sent to uninsured Americans who have not completed their applications. The deadline to sign up for coverage is January 31.
