Right to Enroll Act of 2025

The "Right to Enroll Act of 2025" mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to significantly extend the annual open enrollment period for qualified health plans offered through health insurance Exchanges for plan year 2026 . This legislative directive requires a revision to existing regulations to implement the change. Under this bill, the open enrollment period for 2026 coverage would commence on November 1, 2025 , and extend through May 1, 2026 . This extension provides individuals with an additional five months beyond the typical enrollment window to select or change their health insurance plans, thereby increasing access to coverage.
