Open enrollment ends January 31 and readers report mixed ACA experiences.

Middle incomes face higher out-of-pocket costs, risking underinsurance while medical debt remains common despite subsidies.

Public notices should stay in newspapers not on government sites
Sauk Valley Media argues Gov. Rauner’s task force proposal to move notices online would reduce public access to government information.
