CONCORD — New Hampshire residents who want to purchase coverage on Healthcare.gov for 2019 must act soon. The deadline to enroll in a Health Insurance Marketplace plan is Dec. 15.
Open enrollment, which began on Nov. 1, is a short six-week window this year, so assisters, insurance brokers and others who help people sign up for coverage are encouraging those seeking insurance next year to begin the application process now.
