Uncle Sam wants your email address

HealthCare.gov is getting ready for the new Health Insurance Marketplace.  Open enrollment in the Marketplace begins on October 1st for coverage taking effect in January 2014.   In preparation for the expected wave of participants, the Department of Health & Human Services is rolling out a new version of HealthCare.gov in the next few weeks.  Until then, HHS is reaching out through cyberspace and asking for your email address so that they can provide you with “the most useful emails possible.”  If you register with HeathCare.gov for email or text updates, the website also asks for the state you live in.  HHS is planning to send state-specific updates, including information on your state’s Marketplace, if applicable.
