Open enrollment for health insurance plans available through the Affordable Care Act marketplace runs Nov. 1-Jan. 31, and AARP South Carolina is encouraging consumers to shop around.

Health plans and premiums change from year to year, and so does an individual’s health care needs. Sixty percent of those who actively re-enrolled last year switched to a different plan and saved an average of $516 after tax credits.

South Carolina has not expanded Medicaid, and the state has a higher percentage of uninsured nonelderly residents than the national average.
