Marketplace insurance options available today in Easley

A statewide group is offering help to South Carolinians trying to make sense out of options for marketplace health insurance, as national insurance law deadline looms tomorrow. One of the locations that the Palmetto Project’s signupSC network will have enrollment assisters available this afternoon from 12 to 3 is the Pickens County Library at Easley.  Free appointments may be made by call 1/888-998-4646.  A statewide call-in center will offer 24 hours of enrollment — 9 am to 9 pm today and tomorrow.  To start new coverage by New Year’s Day, the switch must be made by tomorrow.  The fine for not having coverage is $695 dollars, or 2.5% of annual income.
