FINALLY, @LouiseNorris notes that some people not fitting into ANY of the above *may still be able to enroll* for 2021 coverage due to FEMA emergency declarations:

Here's a summary of the 2021 #ACA Open Enrollment deadlines for every state:

ADDITIONAL:

📣 MAKE SURE YOU'RE ENROLLING IN ACA-COMPLIANT COVERAGE!

Under Trump, scam sites have run rampant, as have sites selling junk plans side-by-side w/#ACA plans. Stick w/the official links above *or* brokers who *only* offer ACA plans (& which list all of them).

📣 THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE PENALTY IS STILL AROUND IN SEVERAL STATES!

The federal mandate penalty may be gone, but CA, DC, MA, NJ & RI have all reinstated it at the state level for those who don't receive an exemption.

📣 YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR TAX CREDITS IN 2021 EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T IN 2020...POTENTIALLY SAVING YOU *THOUSANDS* OF DOLLARS.

Due to how #ACA subsidies work, you could save thousands of dollars next year even if nothing changes at your end. ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE!

📣 RESIDENTS OF SOME STATES MAY QUALIFY FOR *ADDITIONAL* SUBSIDIES AS WELL!

California, Massachusetts, New Jersey & Vermont offer *additional* financial subsidies on top of the federal subsidies to many #ACA enrollees.

📣 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE QUALIFY FOR *ZERO-PREMIUM* BRONZE OR EVEN *GOLD* PLANS!

It's a long, dumb story, but some people may be eligible for enough subsidies to bring their net premiums down to $0 (or only a few dollars)...including many who you might not expect would qualify.

📣 ONE MORE THING: Don't let concerns about the upcoming Supreme Court decision on the #ACA case scare you off from enrolling!

Even in a worst-case scenario, the ruling isn't expected until April at the earliest. 5-6 months of coverage is still better than 0 months! #GetCovered.
