Signups for Obamacare on Minnesota’s official health insurance marketplace, MNsure, hit another record this year with 167,163 people signing up for private health insurance plans by the Wednesday, Jan. 15 open enrollment deadline, according to a Friday news release from MNsure.
This is a 14 percent increase from last year.
Coverage for those who enrolled by Wednesday will begin on February 1, 2025.
Open enrolment for 2025 is now over and the only people that can sign up throughout the year are those that experience what are defined as “major life events” such as losing your employer-sponsored insurance, having a baby or getting married.
You can also sign up anytime outside of open enrollment if you qualify for Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare or are a member of the federally recognized tribes.
“Twelve years ago this month, state legislators introduced a bill to establish the marketplace with a vision that Minnesotans would have improved access to quality health coverage and save over $1 billion by using it to purchase insurance,” MNsure CEO Libby Caulum said in the news release. “I’m so pleased to say that, since we were established, MNsure has helped tens of thousands of Minnesotans get comprehensive health insurance and save more than twice the amount state leaders had hoped for – over $2.3 billion in savings, to date.”
