• Shop HealthCare.gov during off-peak hours (mornings/nights/weekends).
• Have your income and tax information ready when you log on.
• Comparison shop to get the best deal.
• You have until December 23 to get coverage starting January 1, 2014 - and until March 31st to get coverage in 2014.
• If you need to talk to someone, use the call center: 1-800-318-2596. Reps are available 24/7, in 150 different languages.

We continue to work every day to ensure that every American who wants affordable health insurance has access to these new, quality coverage options -- and hope these new tips are helpful to consumers seeking coverage in the days, weeks and months ahead.
