IT'S MARCH 31ST, MEANING IT'S THE LAST DAY YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT…ALTHOUGH THE WHITE HOUSE IS GIVING YOU MORE TIME IF YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED THE PROCESS. DEBRA HAMMER WITH THE NEW MEXICO HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE SAYS FAILURE TO SIGN UP WILL BRING A PENALTY OF UP TO ONE PERCENT OF A PERSON'S ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME.
AT LAST REPORT, MORE THAN A THIRD OF NEW MEXICANS WHO'D SIGNED UP FOR COVERAGE WERE IN THE 55-64 AGE GROUP…WHILE THOSE 18-34 COMPRISED ONLY 20-PERCENT.
