El Paso has been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and it’s never been more crucial for our community to have reliable and affordable health care. Unfortunately, about 21% of El Pasoans are uninsured and may not be able to receive the medical attention they need.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order opening a special enrollment period for El Pasoans to get health insurance under the Affordable Care Act (sometimes known as the ACA or “Obamacare”). Now through May 15, 2021, you can visit www.HealthCare.gov and find the best plan for you and your family.
Health care coverage is more affordable than you think, with 9 out of 10 Americans qualifying for financial assistance that can help lower their monthly premiums. As a result, 3 out of 4 people can currently find plans for $50 per month or less.
If you already have health care but want to change your plan, you can also update your coverage, change health insurance providers, or renew your plan if you didn’t before the 2020 deadline in December.
Free help to find the best coverage plan for you and your family is available. If you have questions about signing up or want to talk through your options with a trained and certified professional, you can call 1-800-318-2596, visit localhelp.healthcare.gov, or contact our three local ACA navigators:
