What Is the ACA?

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) ensures that everyone has access to minimum essential health coverage. Under the ACA:

✔ You cannot be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
✔ You won’t be charged more based on health history.
✔ Some individuals may qualify for tax credits to lower insurance costs.

Open Enrollment Period

The open enrollment period is the designated timeframe for purchasing individual health insurance:

📅 November 1 – December 15 is when you can shop for and enroll in a health plan.
🔹 Missing this window? You may still qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you experience a Qualifying Life Event (e.g., marriage, job loss, or birth of a child).

ACA Benefits & Protections

Under the ACA, you are guaranteed health coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions. Insurers cannot charge higher premiums based on medical history.

Additionally, some individuals and families may be eligible for tax credits to help lower insurance costs. Check HealthCare.gov to determine if you qualify before selecting a plan.
