HOW? YOU ASK! IT'S MY SECRET WEAPON. CALL ME!
WHAT IS LOCK-IN? EXCEPT FOR A FEW COUNTIES, IF YOU WERE ENROLLED IN AN ANTHEM PLAN YOU MUST RE-ENROLL FOR 2018. BLUE SHIELD IS THE ONLY ACA COMPLIANT CARRIER AVAILABLE IN CA.

WHAT IS LOCK-OUT? UNLESS YOU HAVE A QUALIFYING LIFE EVENT, ONCE THE DEADLINES HAVE PASSED YOU MUST WAIT TIL THE NEXT OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD TO PURCHASE AN ACA PLAN OR MAKE CHANGES.
