MADISON, Wisconsin – Governor Tony Evers is encouraging Wisconsinites to sign up for health insurance during the open enrollment period.
Open enrollment begins Wednesday and runs through 15 January 2024, Gov. Evers and Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) Commissioner Nathan Houdek said during a press conference at Centro Hispano, in Madison.
Residents can enroll in one of the available health plans, renew their coverage or upgrade their current plan.
Governor Evers said enrollment has increased in recent years, but there’s still work to be done.
“While that’s something to celebrate, we still see large numbers of people who are uninsured because of limited options, lack of eligibility or knowledge about available coverage, and other barriers to enrollment,” Evers said.
The governor also said he’ll continue to fight to expand BadgerCare and increase the health care workforce.
Wisconsin’s individual health insurance market has the second most insurers in the country, according to Evers’ office.
