#1) Do they even have a CLUE that the Medicare Enrollment period ends Dec 7th.
#2) Are they aware that the ACA enrollment ends about a week or so later?
#3) Securing a 2026 plan by Jan 30th of 2026 is laughable both in logistics and in light of the deadlines. Does that mean we all have to reassess the plans? Or if we signed up for an expensive plan that we are stuck with it?

No details, no acknowledgment of the actual workings of the current system makes me very hesitant to feel hopeful.
