Why the 2025 Enrollment Period Is Different
This year's enrollment period is expected
to see more activity due to the resumption
of the Medicaid Annual Renewal process,
which was paused for several years during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Many adults
and families have lost their Medicaid
coverage because of procedural issues or
income changes. This has created a larger
group of people now eligible for the ACA
Marketplace.
James Torres, program manager for
health insurance services at Samuel U.
Rodgers Health Center, emphasized the
importance of the upcoming enrollment
period: "A lot of people have lost
Medicaid or employer insurance in the
last year, and they should know that the
open enrollment period for the Health
Insurance Marketplace for 2025 starts on
Nov. 1. This is their opportunity to see if they
can obtain quality health coverage for
themselves or their families."
