Open enrollment for insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace is now underway and ends Jan. 31.

Is the insurance affordable?

After last year’s open enrollment period for Obamacare, 16.1 million were able to get quality, affordable health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP.

It’s open enrollment time again, and there are still low-cost health insurance options available through the Health Insurance Marketplace, and you can get help paying for the cost of your insurance.

The district said it would wait at least a year […]
