So, it appears that most folks who didn’t enroll by May 15 must wait an extra 6 months to join, and 7.5 months to be covered – at a higher price (i.e., higher monthly premium). For example, if you wait 8 extra months to sign up (that is, if you could have been in a plan for 8 months but you weren’t in one), your monthly premium would be 8 percent higher than if you had signed up before May 15 – and , you’d have to pay this higher amount for as long as you had coverage. Such a permanent premium penalty has riled some seniors and interest groups. However, there are some rays of hope.
