Put this at the top of your December “to do” list: get health coverage and the peace of mind that comes with it. Don’t miss a day of being covered.
Important: You have until December 15, 2015 to sign up so your coverage can start January 1, 2016. That’s less than 2 weeks away.
Plans may cost less than you think — 8 out of 10 people who enroll in health coverage through HealthCare.gov qualify for financial help to lower the cost of their monthly premiums. In fact, most people can find plans with premiums for less than $75 a month after tax credits.
Remember: If you don’t have health coverage or an exemption for 2016, you’ll probably have to pay a fee on your taxes. And for 2016, that penalty is higher than ever.
