Navigators were on site to help with registration and to assist people by answering questions they had about the Affordable Care Act.

So far, about 1.2 million Floridians have selected a plan or re-enrolled since open enrollment began Nov. 15th.  But nearly 4-million still uninsured.

If you have not signed up, there are still about 4 weeks left to sign up for coverage.
If you do not sign up for coverage before the deadline, you will face a fine when you file your 2015 tax return.

This year the fine is $325 per adult, or 2 percent of household income, whichever is greater. That is an increase from the $95 per adult or 1 percent of household income penalty from last year.
