On Jan. 28, 2021 President Joe Biden issued an Executive Order that re-opens enrollment of the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. While the order pertains to states that use the federal exchange (healthcare.gov), Colorado’s exchange (Connect for Health Colorado) will mirror the order by also re-opening enrollment. In fact, Coloradans without health insurance will be able to enroll in coverage through ConnectforHealthCO.com between Feb. 8 and Aug. 15, 2021. This special enrollment period is for people who are without health insurance and begins a week earlier than the federal exchange.
