“Millions of previously uninsured Californians now have the security of health insurance to protect them thanks to the Affordable Care Act,” said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. “With open enrollment even more Californians have the opportunity to secure health insurance coverage.”
If you purchased health insurance through Covered California last year, you will be auto-enrolled in the same or similar plan unless you select a different plan by December 15, 2016. If your health insurer for 2016 is no longer offering coverage through the health insurance marketplace, an alternative health plan will be selected for you unless you opt out of the exchange or select a new plan.
Consumers should shop for health insurance in Covered California notwithstanding rate increases — federal subsidies will reduce premiums for 84 percent of health insurance marketplace enrollees.
