For most people, insurance plans are only available through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Insurance Marketplace up until a certain deadline. This deadline for 2021 is later than usual (August 15th) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you did not purchase health insurance or are not previously covered, you might apply during the Special Enrollment Period if you have a qualifying life event.
