US ACA open-enrollment calendar (2027 coverage, by state)
Complete 51-jurisdiction panel (50 states + DC) of the Affordable Care Act Marketplace open-enrollment window for 2027 coverage, transcribed 2026-10-01 from healthinsurance.org's state-by-state deadline tracking (Aug 2026, per-marketplace citations), CMS's written confirmation, and official state pages. 29 states use HealthCare.gov (Nov 1, 2026 – Jan 15, 2027); 21 states + DC run their own marketplaces with early starts (ID Oct 15; CT/MA Oct 23), an early close (ID Dec 15), and extensions to Jan 23 (MA), Jan 29 (VA), Jan 31 (CA/DC/NJ/NY/RI — RI corrected from a stale Dec 31 via HealthSource RI's official page). Includes the January-1-effective deadline per state and documented urgency features for lead scoring. Caveat: the 2025-rule litigation is on appeal (oral arguments late Oct 2026), so windows could change. Enrollment dates are facts (Feist v. Rural); this compilation is original -> commercial_use=yes. Join on geo_code (ISO 3166-2) or state_abbr for enrollment-urgency lead scoring, subscription churn/renewal timing, and outreach planning.
