care act. the open enrollment deadline is sunday. but those who help people sign up for coverage say they've noticed a trend-- people picking plans that aren't best for them. raycom news network's steven gallo found....while shopping by price may be the best option for your wallet, it's not the best for your health. stephen angell: "i, of course, being poor and needing health coverage, went for the low end of what it would cost." stephen angell is among many people in our area who have opted for the cheapest insurance plan under the affordable care act. in chatham county, that's a network called ambetter. angell: "turns out it was a joke, a total joke." the middle-aged artist has since changed plans, since that one didn't offer him any hospital coverage

cheapest plan. frank van ellison: "and they really trust in us, but we cannot make decisions for them. we just help them make the best decision. a lot of people are like, 'what's best?' they really don't know. so we just make sure we advise them on everything and give them all the tools they need to make the best decision for themselves." that was steven gallo reporting. again, if you're looking to enroll via the affordable care act, you only have until sunday. if you don't have coverage, you could face a fine of up to $700. the palmetto project says they are providing experts to help you get enrolled at locations around the state. here in the midlands, you can stop by brookland baptist church in west columbia this week during the hours of noon and midnight. for more information, we've posted a link to the big red 10 at wistv dot com. the news at noon will be right back. gamecocks men's basketball looking to bounce back after their second lose of the season.
