Colo. Small Firms Should Take Advantage of ACA Open Enrollment
Open enrollment ends Jan. 15, 2019
The Trump administration has created a lot of confusion through recent changes and misinformation about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but our state’s entrepreneurs and small business employees need to know they can still get quality health coverage through Connect for Health Colorado. More than half of all ACA marketplace enrollees are small business owners, solo entrepreneurs or small business employees, so it’s crucial that small business owners learn about their options and get covered early.
It’s important to know open enrollment begins Nov. 1 and ends Jan. 15, 2019. Deep cuts to advertising and enrollment assistance may also make it harder to find the information needed to enroll, but many organizations are stepping up to fill this gap.
Purchasing insurance through the ACA marketplaces remains a great option for small firms that want quality, affordable insurance. In fact, Colorado’s second-cheapest silver plan is estimated to increase by only six percent next year.
The ACA remains law, and it’s important for small business owners, employees, and self-employed individuals to learn about their options now to make sure they are covered for 2019.
