Covered California open enrollment is nearly over. Buy a 2025 health plan or pay tax penalty
Briefly

Covered California has reported unprecedented enrollment numbers, with over 1.9 million residents purchasing health plans. This is driven by increased financial assistance in 2025, enabling more people to obtain coverage. The state saw a 13% increase in new enrollments and a 10% rise in renewals compared to last year. Many of the uninsured qualify for subsidies but remain unenrolled in Medi-Cal. With open enrollment closing soon, all residents needing coverage are urged to act immediately to avoid missing their opportunity until next year.
"Uninsured Californians are taking advantage of the unprecedented financial help available to help pay for coverage in 2025, as we have seen robust sign-ups throughout the state."
"Nearly 90% of Covered California's enrollees receive financial help, and two-thirds of those enrollees qualify for a health plan that costs $10 or less each month."
