Many can find even cheaper plans this year than in years past. For the last two years, over 4 million uninsured people have been eligible for plans with $0 monthly premiums thanks to financial help. Here are five vital facts about signing up for coverage at www.HealthCare.gov. 1) Sign up by December 15. Open Enrollment starts on November 1, but you must take action by December 15, no matter if this is your first time getting covered or if you are returning to shop and save. 2) Coverage could be cheaper than you think.

In fact, 2 out of 3 HealthCare.gov customers can find a plan for $10 or less this year. 3) Shop and save. If you had coverage through HealthCare.gov for 2019, you should come back to update your information and compare your options for 2020.
