We had a productive conversation with Congressman Mike Coffman on Tuesday in a meeting with some of our leadership team. Mr. Coffman, who represents Colorado\u2019s Sixth Congressional District, shared his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancenewsnet.com\/oarticle\/repealing-replacing-the-aca\">principles<\/a> on health care reform in a press release on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, March 1, will be the final day of the special enrollment period extended to anyone whose 2016 health plan was not available this year.

Enrollments will now be limited to those with qualifying life change events, such as the loss of employer-sponsored coverage, a marriage, a move to Colorado, the birth or adoption of a child and so on, explained <a href=\"\/resources\/before-you-buy\/when-can-i-buy\/\">here<\/a> on our site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legislative Update\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The governor\u2019s office on Thursday unveiled a healthcare policy package that includes providing premium subsidies to Coloradans whose income is just above eligibility for the Advance Premium Tax Credits \u2014 between 400 percent and 500 percent of federal poverty level.
