SALEM, OR -- The number of Oregonians signing up for health insurance on the federal website remains low. So far, only 40,000 Oregonians have selected healthcare plans on HealthCare.gov for 2015.  In 2014, 77,000 Oregonians enrolled in coverage through Cover Oregon. But because we switched to the federal website, all Oregonians who got coverage through Cover Oregon had to re-enroll for the next year.

Open enrollment runs through mid-February. Those who sign-up now will have a lapse in coverage because they didn't sign up by December 15th.
