HARTFORD, Conn. (July 15, 2021) — Access Health CT (AHCT), Connecticut’s official health insurance marketplace, is reminding Connecticut residents they have one month left to enroll in health insurance coverage during the American Rescue Plan Act Special Enrollment Period ending August 15.

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) has virtually eliminated, or vastly reduced monthly payments (premiums) for many people with low and moderate incomes and has saved Connecticut residents more than $4.5 million to date. This financial help is offered only through Access Health CT and benefits many, including those with somewhat higher incomes who can face high premiums.

“The American Rescue Plan Act has made health insurance coverage significantly more affordable and this Special Enrollment Period provides access to this help for many more people,” said James Michel, Chief Executive Officer at Access Health CT. “We ask that if you or someone you know is uninsured or unemployed, please enroll by August 15.”
