Covered California is where you can compare quality health plans from brand-name health insurance companies.
So if Obamacare is being repealed and replaced simultaneously with something else, does that mean there’s no point in signing up for medical insurance through Covered California? And if you have an existing plan, is it going away soon?
Not so.
Peter Lee, the executive director of Covered California, says those who already have health insurance through Covered California can count on that coverage. And those who don’t, should sign up now.
“Things in Washington do not happen overnight. Health care can change overnight,” Lee said. “Our number one message is, we’re in open enrollment, now is the time. If you don’t have insurance, sign up and get the insurance, change is going to take time.”
Right now, you can get a new plan or make changes to an existing one. And the open enrollment period ends on January 31.
Covered California is a state-designed program to make it simple and affordable for you to purchase high-quality health insurance and access financial assistance to pay for coverage.
