Four days are left to enroll in health coverage for 2022 through the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace.

A release from the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services said the American Rescue Plan Act has made health insurance purchased through the marketplace more affordable than ever. Individuals and families will only pay a certain percentage of their income on health insurance thanks to financial help available through www.oregonhealthcare.gov

The release said every Oregonian, whether uninsured, enrolled in COBRA, or enrolled directly through an insurance company, should look into Marketplace coverage, even if they were not previously eligible. More than 75 percent of people who signed up in 2021 received financial help for plans that include essential benefits such as doctor visits, prescriptions, emergency care and mental health services.

The Marketplace is the state-level partner to www.healthcare.gov
