Quick follow up before the enrollment deadline: what happens to my coverage if I move out of Illinois? I may still need the ACA if my new employer doesn’t provide health care coverage on day one.
Moving is one of the “qualifying life events” that triggers a Special Enrollment Period. If you discover that your current coverage doesn’t have many (or any) in-network providers in your new state, you’ll probably want to take advantage of the opportunity to buy a new ACA policy from an insurer in your new state (which would have a more robust network in the state to which you’ve moved).
