Bannon`s War RoomOct 7, 2026
Medicare open enrollment for the 2027 plan year runs from October 15 to December 7, per CMS and AP, so the claim that enrollment starts October 15 is supported. The post says 'the fifteenth' in an October 7 post, which the posted day supplies as October 15; the schedule was already published before that date.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

Supports. AP reported on October 15, 2026 that Medicare open enrollment began that Thursday, with changes taking effect January 1, 2027.[1]
Supports. KFF, published October 9, 2026, says the annual open enrollment period runs from October 15 to December 7, with changes effective January 1 of the following year.[4]
Context. Medicare.gov's General Enrollment Period (January 1 to March 31) is a separate sign-up window and does not conflict with the October 15 start of annual open enrollment.[3]
