Open Health Care Enrollment Starts Saturday

The second open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act begins this weekend.

If you haven’t enrolled in healthcare coverage by February 15th, you generally can’t buy marketplace health coverage for 2015 until the next open enrollment period the following year. Wanda Palmer with Workforce Connections says the fees or penalties for those people not covered by health insurance, will increase over the next two years.
