WASHINGTON — Open enrollment for health insurance plans offered under the Affordable Care Act marketplace is open as of Nov. 1 and Granite Staters have until Dec. 15 to sign up for a marketplace plan or change their current plan by going to healthcare.gov.
Although there is less funding for activities to raise awareness of the enrollment period, the Affordable Care Act remains in place and Granite Staters are encouraged to view and compare health plans for 2020.
