The federal Open Enrollment period is now ongoing, marking a critical time for individuals to enroll in, change, or cancel their health insurance plans. This limited window only lasts a few weeks, and once it closes, individuals will have to wait until next year’s enrollment period to make any changes. Open Enrollment for the Marketplace began on November 1 and ends on December 15.  According to the latest data from CDPH, nearly 1 in 10 Chicagoans remain uninsured with Latinx residents facing a particularly high burden. Uninsured rates in the Latinx community are nearly four times higher than those of White residents and twice as high as those of Asian and Black residents.  CDPH encourages individuals to take advantage of the Open Enrollment Period before it ends and secure health coverage for the upcoming year.
