Enrolling in Quality and Affordable Healthcare Coverage

Everyone needs quality and affordable healthcare, especially people with lung cancer and chronic lung diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, and long COVID.

Now is the time to look at your options for healthcare coverage through HealthCare.gov. Open enrollment will last from November 1 to January 15 in most states. If you or your child are eligible for CHIP or Medicaid or if you are getting married, having a baby, losing other insurance coverage or moving, you can enroll for healthcare at any time. Even if you haven't found a plan that works for you before, the Inflation Reduction Act extended financial assistance to help people afford quality coverage for another three years, so it's worth checking what you may qualify for.
