Applications for Obamacare close in most states on December 15, 2016, Time Money reports. This means that if you want your insurance to work from the first day of the new year, you need to fill out the paperwork before mid-December. At the same time, several states—Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Washington—extended the deadline until December 23.
Journalists warn that latecomers risk being left without insurance - for those who submit documents after mid-December, insurance coverage will only begin on March 1, 2017.
At the same time, economic observers at Time claim that insurance rates will increase slightly this year. In particular, the most popular low-cost Silver plan increased in price in Oklahoma by 42%, in Tennessee by 39%, and in Minnesota, Colorado and Arizona by 25%.
On the other hand, about 85% of Obamacare users (about 9 million Americans) will pay less for health insurance next year thanks to government subsidies.
In general, according to the calculations of the US Department of Health and Social Assistance, 73% of Obamacare users will be able to receive insurance no more than $ 75 per month.
It is worth noting that Americans have a choice - to use private health insurance, as well as the state Medicade program. But those who do not have health insurance at all face a fine of about 2,5% of annual income, Time recalls.
