Applications must be

the health insurance exchange beginning on Jan. 1, 2014.
Applicants who sign
up after the Dec. 4 deadline may not begin receiving coverage until a later
date.
Cover Oregon is the
state’s new online marketplace where Oregonians can shop for health insurance,
compare various health insurance options side-by-side to find plans that will
fit their needs and budget, and access savings to help pay for coverage. More
Oregonians can now get health insurance even if they already have a health
condition.
