Last year we were up 19 percent over the previous year and this year we are seeing the same kind of strong growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese many thousands of Coloradans have protected their health and their finances with healthcare coverage. I encourage anyone who does not yet have health insurance for 2017 to go to our site, <a href=\"\/resources\/the-basics\/election-questions\/\">Connectforhealthco.com<\/a>, check to see if they qualify for financial assistance, review the available plans, and complete an enrollment. They can have coverage in place February 1 if they act by January 15.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since November 1, Coloradans selected <strong>158,960<\/strong> medical and\/or dental insurance plans (<strong>155,370<\/strong> were medical plan selections). Seventy-eight percent of the plan selections are renewing customers and 22 percent are new to the Marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are renewing or enrolling for the first time, you must complete enrollment by <strong>January 15,<\/strong> to have coverage <strong>February 1<\/strong>. Open Enrollment runs<strong> through January 31. <\/strong>That is the last day for people who buy their own health insurance to sign up for 2017 coverage, unless they experience a qualifying life change event, such as marriage, divorce, having a child, losing your employer-sponsored insurance, or moving to Colorado.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Connect for Health Colorado<br \/>\n<\/strong>Connect for Health Colorado is a public, non-profit entity established in law by the Colorado General Assembly in 2011 to create a health insurance Marketplace.\u00a0 It opened for business on Oct. 1, 2013, for individuals, families and small employers to compare and buy health insurance and apply for tax credits to help make their insurance more affordable. Customers can shop online; get help by phone or chat from expert Customer Service Center representatives; and find in-person assistance from certified brokers and agents, community based certified Health Coverage Guides or Certified Application Counselors. In 2016, the Marketplace enrolled more than 170,000 Coloradans in private insurance and helped more than 100,000 gain access to new tax credits that made their health coverage more affordable \u2013 all while keeping fees among the lowest in the country.
