As jobless claims are soaring due to COVID-19, thousands of Idahoans are in desperate need of healthcare coverage. Medicaid Expansion is providing relief for many, but not for all. For thousands of people, there is only one option: Idaho's healthcare exchange.
But here's the thing: The enrollment period for Idaho's healthcare exchange ended in December, months before the outbreak of COVID-19. This means that thousands of Idahoans are being shut out from healthcare coverage in the midst of a global pandemic.
Fortunately, Governor Brad Little has the power to follow other states and open Idaho's healthcare exchange for a Special Enrollment Period. In fact, Idaho's exchange is the only state-run exchange in the country right now that is not open for enrollment.
Please sign the petition and call on Governor Little to open Idaho's healthcare exchange.

Idaho families are struggling like never before in the midst of a global pandemic. Jobless claims are soaring. Thousands of workers are in jeopardy of losing healthcare benefits. Medicaid will provide relief to some of these families – but not nearly enough. It’s time to open Idaho’s healthcare exchange. Now.
Idaho families don’t have time to navigate the red tape to see if they qualify for exceptions to open enrollment. They need access to healthcare. Idaho's exchange is the only state-run exchange in the country right now that is not open for enrollment. Too much is on the line to keep our healthcare exchange closed.
Please sign the petition calling on Governor Brad Little to open Idaho’s healthcare exchange. The security of thousands of Idaho families depends on it now more than ever.
