Saturday, December 15th, 2018 was the deadline for open enrollment in Obamacare in most of the 39 states  with this health insurance.

You didn't know? There's no surprise there. According to Sarah Mervosh of the NYTimes, open enrollment was down 12 percent lower than last year probably because the Trump Administration cut advertising funds so people just didn't get the Saturday open enrollment deadline news.

Also, she mentioned another reason possibly why 'OE' was down on this past Saturday was because the threat of receiving a $708 fine for not having insurance had been lifted in 2017. The new president, President Donald J. Trump declared the ACA unConstitutional and stopped some of its features in operation as mentioned in the above sentence.

So, how are you doing where it comes to health insurance? There is so much controversy surrounding Obamacare (ACA) that I've decided to only discuss two people who utilize it. The first person is a man named Timothy. Timothy said that his health insurance expenses were good until Obamacare kicked in raising his annual deductions $5,500. The other person is a 71-year-old woman who said that she's happy with her Medicare plan under the ACA because she would have been dead without it. Medicare paid for the mounted expenses of having Lyme Disease and the aftermath which was Atrial Fibrillation resulting in several heart surgeries. 

This article also mentions that President Trump's aim is to get rid of Obamacare altogether; however, his political opponents believe that decision would likely affect his chances of reelection come 2020. Millions of US citizens will be without health care coverage if he gets his way. In particular, those with preexisting health conditions will be the main ones affected by the loss of health insurance.

For now, you are safe from being flatout cut-off from ACA.

States that have open enrollment until January:

 "But 11 states and the District of Columbia operate their own marketplaces. The states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington." (NYT)
