Health care is expensive. By covering a large portion of medical costs, health insurance makes it easier to receive preventative care and necessary treatment when needed.

The Open Enrollment period, which runs from November 1 through January 15 each year, offers the opportunity to purchase health insurance options through the marketplace outside of qualifying events such as job loss, change in marital status, or a child in the family.
