Enrollment opens October 15, everyone knows that date. What almost nobody knows is that the complete data for next year, every premium, every drug list, every network, goes live October 1st, two full weeks earlier. This video covers how to use that head start, what opens on you the same day, and the deadlines after it that close for good.
📋 What You'll Learn:
Why searching by premium is the wrong approach, and the four things that actually decide what a plan costs you next year
Why the mail flood this month isn't a coincidence, it's the exact date marketing becomes legally permitted, and the protection you have once an agent sits down with you
Why the heating assistance accounts reset October 1st, and why being told no in March isn't the same as being told no now
The one sentence to write down when the raise is announced, and why the real number isn't known until November
The three deadlines that close after October, and the one window that reopens in January if you miss them
