    2016 open enrollment ENDS

    If you have not signed up for health insurance by this date, you will likely have to pay a fine of $695 (per person without insurance in your household, or $347.50 per child) — or 2.5% of your yearly income, whichever is more; and you may need to wait until the next open enrollment period to get health coverage.

    2017 open enrollment BEGINS

    You can search for and purchase health insurance in the Marketplace that will start in 2017. If you signed up for health insurance last year, update your information and either renew your current plan or pick a new plan that may better suit your needs.

Here for you, no matter what.

For almost 100 years, Planned Parenthood has been providing confidential, expert women’s health care. That’s not changing.

While the health care law means that millions of people will be getting insurance for the first time, Planned Parenthood will continue to provide quality health care to women and men— whether or not they have insurance. So you can still come to us for the care you need, when you need it.
