Most states stuck to the hard deadline of January 31st, 2016, but a few states are allowing those who signed up (but didn’t enroll) a few extra days to enroll.
If you haven’t yet enrolled in coverage for 2016, you are pushing it. Your last chance is January 31, 2016.

For 2016 Millions will get coverage, and cost assistance will help ease the impact of rate hikes, yet millions will be left uncovered due to the Medicaid gap.
A quick overview of everything you need to know about getting coverage, switching plans, and cost assistance during ObamaCare’s 2016 open enrollment period.
You can’t switch plans outside of open enrollment unless you have a qualifying life event that qualifies you for special enrollment.
If a family member wasn’t added to a family plan during open enrollment they won’t be able to be added until next open enrollment unless they qualify for special enrollment.
Health insurance can only be obtained during open enrollment. This applies to coverage inside and outside of ObamaCare’s Health Insurance Marketplace.
If you have a plan you don’t like, for instance due to cost, you can switch plans via special enrollment or look into supplemental options. That being said for private insurance there isn’t really a supplemental option that makes financial sense.
If you purchase insurance during open enrollment it won’t start until the 1st of January, if you enroll after December 15 it starts February 1st.
You can only add a dependent to a family plan outside of open enrollment if they have a qualifying life event.
The only way to switch carriers outside of ObamaCare’s open enrollment period is via a special enrollment period.
