Health Insurance Deadline is March 31! Are You Enrolled?
UPDATE: While the deadline
is still March 31, there is a little wiggle room. The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services said that those who have already started the
enrollment process before March 31 can finish after the deadline.
"Just like Election Day, if you are in line when the polls close, you get to vote. We won’t close the door on those who tried to get covered and were unable to do so through no fault of their own. So, those who were in line or had technical problems with the website can quickly come back and sign up as soon as possible," writes Julie Bataille, Director of Communications at Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in a blog post dated March 26.

Just a few days remain to sign up for health insurance at Healthcare.gov! Open enrollment for insurance this year ends on March 31.
Healthcare.gov has some excellent information for those who still need to enroll. For a quick refresher of what exactly the Health Insurance Marketplace provides, as well as who it's for, check out this guide. Another great source of information is this page, which gives you an idea of what to expect as you enroll. For answers to other questions, check out the FAQ page.
St. Louis Public Library still has a few opportunities left for you to get help signing up. Appointments are not necessary.

Time is Running Out to Enroll Through the Health Insurance Marketplace!
If you don't have health insurance already, you have until March 31 to enroll through the Health Insurance Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov.
Through our community partnerships, St. Louis Public Library is offering several opportunities before then to get enrolled at various branches. Throughout March, representatives from the Betty Jean Kerr People's Health Centers will be available at Central Library each Wednesday night from 6-8 p.m., and the People's Community Action Corporation will be at Barr Branch every Tuesday and Thursday from 3-6:30 p.m. For a full list of events, visit our Upcoming Events page.
Remember, you don't have to worry about enrolling for health insurance if you already have insurance through work or another means, or if you are already covered by Medicare or Medicaid. But if you aren't enrolled in some sort of health insurance by the end of March, there is a penalty. According to Healthcare.gov's FAQ page, the 2014 penalty is 1% of your income, or $95 per person ($47.50 for minors) per household, whichever is higher. The penalty increases each year. For more information on the penalties, go here.
