assistance that we've ever been able to make available to those that we serve. this is the time of year when anyone can come in to covered california, see what you are eligible for, and enroll in coverage for 2023. so, if you are currently going without insurance, if you are buying directly from an insurance company but want to see if something more affordable is out there for you, this is the time to come to covered california, and we do offer financial assistance. in fact, 90% of those that we cover today are receiving financial assistance, and health insurance could be more affordable, could be more in reach than you think that it is. over half of the individuals that we cover are enrolled in health plans for less than $50 a month, and many have access to a plan that is $10 or less per month. and, in fact, we have people enrolled right now that are paying $0 a month for their health insurance coverage.

every year, we hear from people who don't think they're going to be eligible, think they make too much money, don't think covered california is for them, but when they take the time, when they take the five minutes it takes to just plug in four simple pieces of information and see what they're eligible for, they find out that it is for them, that it is more affordable than they thought that it could be. our financial assistance is available across the income spectrum, and our rule of thumb is that no person should have to pay more than 8.5% of their income for our benchmark-level plan on covered california. and many people pay much less than that, in fact. if you want to find out if you're eligible for coverage, the easiest way to do that is to visit coveredca.com. you can go through the entire enrollment process online. or you can take just five minutes, give us four basic pieces of information about you -- the number of people in your household, how old they are, your zip code, and how much your income is -- and get
