The Inflation Reduction Act, enacted in 2022, offers greatly improved financial assistance which can significantly lower people’s premiums. This means the following:
· Four (4) out of five (5) people will be able to find plans for $10/month or less after newly expanded financial assistance.
· Millions more people qualify for tax incentives that lower their premiums.
· These quality, comprehensive health plans offer doctor visits, emergency care, preventive care, hospital care, and prescription drugs.
· Consumers who enroll by the Jan. 15 deadline can get coverage that starts Feb. 1.
