pending deadline to enroll in their health plan for next year. The plan you’ve had this year will not automatically renew – everyone must sign up again for their plan for next year. If you do not, you will default to Plan N, which we have been told is a subpar
plan. Thank you for your assistance in raising awareness about this deadline. <o:p>
