Today is Last Chance for Many to Enroll in Health Insurance

But why bother? That’s what some might think even once they know that today, January 31, is the absolute final day they can enroll in health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.

Go to Healthcare.gov for federal signup and links to the states’ signup portals.
