Uninsured Can Enroll Through April 30, 2015

I guess we all read things differently. I wasn't implying anything about complaining, I was agreeing with you that the fact is there truly are people out there that did not know that had to have health insurance last year and they live under a rock. I can't believe with all the news venue's there are today that many still don't know.

I call this the "I live under a rock" SEP

I'm finding that the "Living Under A Rock" applies particularly to ATPC Subsidies being available to reduce the premium. Uninsured people seem to be totally oblivious to this for some reason. Two sole-proprietors that I enrolled today were planning on staying uninsured...but paying the penalty/tax/fine got their interest. They were shocked that the government ATPC enabled them to purchase good quality health insurance for $250'ish a month.

HHS announced today that the uninsured rate has decreased by a substantial 30% since 2012.

That still leaves 25 million or so who need coverage.

Only 2 questions require a response in order to qualify for TAX special enrollment.

Only one through HealthSherpa!

I have not seen much volume with this Tax Penalty SEP. Curious what others are seeing.

Have written one for tax penalty and one that lost coverage. Have spoke with a few that still feel the penalty for this year is better than having health insurance.
