The Biden-Harris Administration has announced an important extension for consumers enrolling in health insurance through the HealthCare.gov Marketplace. Illinois residents now have an additional three days – until midnight on Wednesday, December 18, 2024 (5 a.m. EST on Thursday, December 19) to secure coverage that begins January 1, 2025. This extension is a valuable second chance to ensure peace of mind and protection for the year ahead.
This extra time allows Illinois residents to review their options, secure affordable, high-quality health insurance, and ensure coverage for a full year starting January 1. With plenty of plans to fit your needs and budget, there’s no reason to delay.
