In most of the nine states updating their policies, people enrolling now will get health insurance coverage that starts April 1.on healthcare.gov, has not made a similar offer.
All consumers are allowed to sign up for insurance anytime if they meet certain qualifying conditions, such as losing health coverage, getting married or having a baby.after losing his job as a bartender when the brewpub closed because of concerns about the spread of the virus. "I assumed it would be hard. I assumed it wouldn't make sense," he says, but he was pleased it didn't take long.
"There are things beyond our control that may happen, such as the coronavirus," says Eberle,"and it's really helpful to have that peace of mind — such as health insurance." "We see them moving in and out of many different types of insurance — public and private," says Marinaro. She says she fears more upheaval ahead.
State officials say insurers have been supportive of the move to create a special enrollment period to respond to COVID-19. Nevada has taken steps to mitigate the risk to insurers by barring new sign-ups by people who lost insurance because they did not pay for their plan on time, says Heather Korbulic, executive director of the state's exchange. But those people can try to work with directly with their insurer to resume coverage.
Great idea. What do you say, GovBillLee?
I didn't have to read the list to know that they are all blue states led by Democratic governors.
All blue states 🤔
If I get sick from the Corona Virus, you can send the bill to China.
Hoping to see the same trend in NC and FL! 🤞🏽
California
Yeah. But most people can't afford extra $700 in emergency, especially now. How can they come up $7000+ out of pocket for treatments.
Sign up for healthcare that's not affordable at all ?!
We shouldn’t have to do this. MedicareForAll
This is extortion. It’s like gambling on who’s going to collect. Wait . . . That’s what insurance is.
trustingmyvibes Correction, NDR (National Democratic Radio). They are as non biased and capable of critical thinking as you and no longer represent the public. 😂😂

GovernorVA we need to be one of them. How can we do this in Virginia? EFillerCorn marcussimon
The Obama Admin did not understand the word and purpose of “insurance.”
Come on California, you can do this!!
Because, Medicaid.
NanaB_2010 Looking for Florida 👀 - looking - 👓 still looking🔭... nope! We are still the FuckYouAllVeryMuch state.
👀
Why hasn’t HealthyFla done this when we have the most at-risk residents and total cases while being compared to Italy!
Blacklanderz Good for them caring about their residents
This would be completely unnecessary if America had UniversalHealthcare.
All blue states!
This is hilarious. Let's allow people to sign up for fire and police services only when the house is on fire or they're being robbed! Brilliant. Duh. Universal, tax based healthcare - anything else is pathetically stupid.
I was denied. Fun times!
It’s time for free healthcare for everyone and put the scientists and doctors back in charge. NOT CEO’s! NOT insurance companies! Everyone gets same care!

rhonda_harbison I hear California opened it up too!
I heard that California will too from someone who lives there.
Thank God for the ACA. All people deserve healthcare!!
Minnesota will reopen Monday.
MedicareForAll
Why That makes no sense
Democratic states — help humans
Lmao
Good choices states very good choices!

Oregon has modified ours to make it easier for those needing insurance to apply
Hmmm
Come on georgia damn!

Until there is single payer, there’s always Obamacare
The level of stupidity fron the Republicans is over the limit.
It’s a good thing we don’t have that Commie MCR4ALL wreaking havoc on our tremendously beautiful healthcare system. 🤪
GovTimWalz I really hope MN joins in on this bc my family of 4, with 2 young children NEED insurance!!
PlanetDr
solchus
Wait till they see the 5k deductible before the ACA will even pay a lousy 60% of most medical procedures.
Let’s go Virginia
Hi, I think I have covid 19, but I don’t have insurance. Does anyone think it is in their interest that I have access to health care?
reneeklahr Minnesota has as well
MNsure did as well!
You missed Minnesota
What’s the value in this? The insurance is stupid expensive and if used you still have to pay thousands on top of the monthly premium before it provides any benefits. If someone gets CV they’re most likely not going to even seek treatment in most cases.
AsaHutchinson if we aren’t currently doing this...
r3aprat Minnesota did as well, from 3/23-4/21
Good news. Thanks 👍
MistressCarrie Wait, I thought everyone was supposed to have and be able to afford Obama care. What happened, why do people not have coverage?
Of course Maryland is on this list. I’m so sorry I left youMD lol.
Scott_Wiener GavinNewsom can we do this in CA? My sister has been living abroad and just made it back to CA. She needs health insurance to weather this crisis
Easiest thing to do would make testing and treatment free but whatever I guess. The US response to everything has been how do i make a quick buck off of this
That should provide some much needed help with those Obama era $15,000 deductibles
Almost like we want all Americans to have health insurance when they need it... if only there was a system we all pay into that would automagically provide this mythic insurance against bad health... whoever invents that would certainly be popular with the people
And how many will have money to pay for it?
GovAbbott
What do you mean? The exchange opens back up normally for anyone when you lose your job. It’s called a qualifying life event
healthvermont Here's a bright idea once infrastructure is ready...
All blue states? I think so. Why
Wonder what this will look like in 2020
It looks like Health Insurance is good to have again.
Any Republican states? GOP are killing Americans
I’m betting there are a lot of red states on this list
Who knew it was a good idea!
This is positive news for a change.
