Dear Friend,
Great news! The new American Rescue Plan is making health care coverage
through HealthCare.gov and COBRA more affordable! This is huge! The Biden
administration has now extended the special enrollment period for health
care coverage at HealthCare.gov through August 15th so we have the chance
to make sure everyone is able to get covered! [ [link removed] ] The COVID-19 pandemic
has shown us now, more than ever, how important it is to have good health
care coverage. So far, more than 528,000 people have already enrolled
during this special enrollment period, and there is still time left for
everyone to get covered! [ [link removed] ]
[1]*Quick action: Sign up now to help get the word out about this Special
Health Care Enrollment Period so people who need access to healthcare can
get healthcare!
When you sign up, we’ll send you a toolkit with everything you need to
help spread the word about the open enrollment period happening now
through August 15th.
This is important new info and we need YOU to help get the word out! On
March 11th, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan (ARP) into
law, a historic piece of legislation that will provide economic relief to
millions of Americans. [ [link removed] ] The ARP has several provisions that will
directly impact how consumers access health coverage:
* It greatly increases the generosity of subsidies available to
consumers who enroll in marketplace coverage—which means people who
already have coverage through HealthCare.gov should also look to see
if they can access more savings!
* It allows uninsured individuals who receive unemployment benefits to
access the most generous subsidies, regardless of income.
* It fully subsidizes COBRA coverage in some cases. [ [link removed] ]
* And it exempts consumers from paying back owed subsidies at tax time.
This is a huge deal! The American Rescue Plan is the biggest step toward
making health care coverage more affordable in more than a decade! Under
the previous administration, funding aimed to inform uninsured people
about health insurance options was cut and the number of uninsured people
increased. So, it is crucial that this new health care enrollment period
under President Biden is being accompanied by a massive increase in
funding to make sure people know about their new insurance options and how
to sign up for coverage. [2]We need YOU to help spread the word.
A few key details about the special health care enrollment period:
* A new health care enrollment period in HealthCare.gov states will end
on August 15.
* If enrolled in health care coverage during the last open enrollment
period, you should check back to see if you can access more savings
(or if you want to change plans)!
* You do NOT need to show a loss of health care coverage, or other major
life change that is normally required to sign up outside the annual
open enrollment period. (If you are uninsured, you should check out
your options at HealthCare.gov right now!)
[3]*Sign up now! Take action and help get the word out about open
enrollment for health care at HealthCare.gov so people who need healthcare

sources for information—and that people trust moms as much as doctors, for
information about health coverage options. [ [link removed] ] So, your voice matters!
