States reopen insurance enrollment; both NH and Vt. have special sign-up period because of pandemic

WEST LEBANON People without health insurance can enroll in plans through the Affordable Care Act now through mid-May.
Both Vermont and New Hampshire opened “special enrollment” periods last week, allowing those without health insurance to sign up for health plans through either Vermont Health Connect in Vermont or healthcare.gov in New Hampshire.
The states did so in accordance with a Jan. 28 executive order by President Joe Biden requiring that the exchanges reopen to allow people who have lost their job-based health plans during the COVID-19 pandemic to enroll. The exchanges allow those who qualify to receive premium and cost-sharing assistance.
