The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollment period is the time when individuals and families can sign up for new health plans or update their current coverage. Many households qualify for premium subsidies based on income, which can make ACA plans far more affordable than expected. All marketplace plans cover essential health benefits such as preventive care, prescriptions, and hospital services. Reviewing network providers and drug coverage is important to avoid surprises. Enrolling on time ensures continuous protection and prevents costly gaps in healthcare coverage.
