Today CMS announced a new Special Enrollment Period to help people (in https://t.co/EuxH0fdvPZ states) who lose Medicaid during unwinding transition to marketplace coverage. Great news to cap off a banner week for the #ACA marketplace! https://t.co/IjtCp5f0dY

And the Administration should continue to find ways to reduce barriers to enrollment and to increase assistance for those who need it.

.@HHSGov announced yesterday that a record 16.3 million people selected a health insurance plan during the 10th #ACA marketplace open enrollment period that ended Jan. 15 in most states.🧵

Congress can start by making the enhanced premium subsidies, which saved #ACA marketplace enrollees an average of $800 in 2022, permanent.

A9: There are trained/certified assisters in every state who provide free, unbiased, 1:1 help (in many languages) with the application and plan comparison process. Schedule an appointment today! https://t.co/LcFyS4tyXn #TodaysVoicesTues #GetCovered

Q9: There is a lot to consider when signing up for health coverage - costs, networks, insurers. Is there any help out there to help people sort through all the options? #TodaysVoicesTues

[Jenny Sullivan @JLSullivan]

A8: In https://t.co/EuxH0fdvPZ states, check out the new “easy pricing” plans (there’s a filter) to compare plans with the same cost sharing rules. Then you can focus on the premium, provider network, and quality ratings, not complex cost-sharing rules. #TodaysVoicesTues

Q8: People with work or student coverage often don’t have a lot of choices when it comes to plans offered to them, but the marketplace is different. What are some pointers for people new to shopping for coverage? What should they consider? #TodaysVoicesTues

[Jenny Sullivan @JLSullivan]

A7: People should act by Dec 15 to make sure their coverage starts Jan 1. Open enrollment lasts thru Jan 15, but for plan selections after Dec 15, coverage doesn’t start until Feb 1. Act early to get covered for the full year! #TodaysVoicesTues #GetCovered

[Young Invincibles @YoungInvincible]

Q7: This time of year, people are looking ahead to the holidays. Should people shop for coverage now or can it wait until January?

A3: The new law continues critical financial help (thru 2025) that has eliminated or reduced premiums for millions of marketplace enrollees. More details here: https://t.co/0Yvyx6YdO1 #TodaysVoicesTues #GetCovered

[Young Invincibles @YoungInvincible]

Q3: A new law means more affordable health coverage. What is the Inflation Reduction Act and how does it impact marketplace shoppers? #TodaysVoicesTues

[Jenny Sullivan @JLSullivan]

@YoungInvincible A2: People can schedule a free appointment with a trained assister in their community to get help with the application and comparing plans. https://t.co/LcFyS4tyXn #TodaysVoicesTues #GetCovered

[Jenny Sullivan @JLSullivan]

@YoungInvincible A1: Also important for the ~250k new folks who picked a plan on the marketplace last year to return to the marketplace to update their info. Plans and prices change every year. #TodaysVoicesTues #GetCovered

Bottom line: people need access to high quality, affordable housing AND health care to thrive. Much more to dig into about the symbiotic relationship between housing & health in our new chart book – check it out: https://t.co/xxeXMxHSEL

[Jenny Sullivan @JLSullivan]

🧵We know intuitively that #housing and health are connected. But what do the data tell us? We unpack in our new @centeronbudget chart book. https://t.co/xxeXMxHSEL

[Jenny Sullivan @JLSullivan]

States have a role, too. They should use #Medicaid flexibilities to increase access to #housing for people at risk of housing instability or #homelessness, including through home-and community-based services & tenancy supports.
