The majority of enrollees will likely qualify for help, with three-out-of-five Coloradans expected to pay $10 or less a month for coverage, according to the state.

Earlier this month, officials announced a record of more than 220,000 Coloradans have already enrolled in health coverage for next year.

“Colorado is proud of our nation-leading work to help connect more Coloradans to health care coverage they can afford, and it’s great to see so many people signing up,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement. “I hope that every Coloradan who needs insurance signs up by the Dec. 15 deadline to get their coverage by Jan. 1.”
