Friday is the last day for people to purchase individual health insurance coverage for 2018 through the government’s marketplace exchange.
“Demand is always higher near deadlines. It’s crunch time now,” said Jill Hanken, director of Enroll Virginia, in a news release. Enroll Virginia provides certified navigators to help people compare and select a policy.
Hanken said enrollment has been robust, and from Nov. 1 through Dec. 2, people living in 156,195 Virginia households had selected health plans. That figure does not show if more than one person in a household enrolled, nor does it count people who chose to automatically renew their 2017 policy.
