Obamacare (ACA) Enrollment Reopens for Americans in Need of Coverage Amid Pandemic

Obamacare (ACA) Enrollment Reopens for Americans in Need of Coverage Amid Pandemic

The federal health insurance marketplace reopened on February 15, 2021, for a special enrollment period that will run through May 15, 2021, as part of efforts by President Biden to ensure that Americans in need of insurance coverage during the coronavirus pandemic have access to health care.

Those eligible for this special enrollment may also qualify for subsidies to help offset the cost, and Mid-Florida Agencies can help you navigate the ACA at no extra charge. Don't go it alone when it comes to your health; contact the Mid-Florida Agencies experts during this special enrollment period.

The Value of a Local Agent

Why choose Mid-Florida to help? Our agents can help you:

  • Qualifying for a Premium Tax Credit (a.k.a. Subsidy/Stipend)
  • Help you determine which network of physicians, hospitals, etc. are best for you and your family
  • See if you qualify for Cost Share Reductions (lower copays and deductibles)
  • Service throughout the year. Did you receive a bill from your doctor, and not sure if you should pay it? Call your agent throughout the year for help...NOT an 800 number!!
  • Check to make sure your medications are covered and how much you can expect to pay
  • Help you review ancillary plans (dental, accident, hospital, etc.) that you may need and not realize.
  • Most of all...In-person, face-to-face assistance at no additional cost to you!!

This special enrollment period for the ACA/Obamacare is limited and ends May 15, 2021. Don't delay; contact one of our friendly Florida Blue agents today and get covered.

Robert has been amazing. He helped us find insurance when my wife stopped working. I don't know what we would have done without his help. Thank you!

UPDATED 2025: I’ve worked with Robert Buckmann for four years running to enroll in the Affordable Care Act insurance program. He is knowledgeable, efficient and - as an added bonus - he is funny. 2026 enrollment was particularly challenging due to changes in the subsidies - Robert helped me understand my increased costs. As a freelancer, I have little insight into my expected income. He informed me well of threshholds and makes himself available throughout the year if I need to consider adjusting my income forecast. I like having an advisor for this process and it is such a great benefit that his fees are covered by the program and not by me - although I would happily pay for the assistance I get. I highly recommend Robert Buckmann for her service.

Choosing a health care plan is very stressful and complicated... unless you have Robert Buckmann on your side! He cuts through the noise with a laser so you understand exactly what you need to know. I hope this highly knowledgeable expert never retires -- my husband and I are very grateful for his help and have relied on him for two years now.
