Enrollment Up by 44% in Wisconsin

Only 2 weeks remain before the December 15th enrollment deadline

 

More people have signed up for health coverage at HealthCare.gov this year than ever before – nearly 2.4 million nationally.* What’s more impressive is that in Wisconsin, “57,558” have signed up for coverage – a 44% increase from a similar point last year. 

“Such a strong start to open enrollment shows just how much people want health insurance and that they’re finding coverage they can afford when they visit HealthCare.gov,” said Josh Peck, co-founder of Get America Covered. “Now more than ever, given the devastating human toll of the pandemic and economic crisis, people deserve the peace of mind that comes from high quality, affordable health coverage. However, time is running out to sign up for coverage. We need to do everything we can to ensure people know that the last chance for people to enroll for health coverage with financial help at HealthCare.gov is December 15th.”
