Health Insurance Assistance

Individuals with Qualifying Life Events or who are eligible for MinnesotaCare or Medical Assistance may apply and enroll outside of the Open Enrollment period.

• The Affordable Care Act requires that almost all Americans have health insurance. More Information HERE.
• Not having health insurance means that you may pay a penalty fee.
• Health insurance covers preventative measures such as vaccinations, yearly physicals, etc. Health insurance also reduces the cost you pay if you have a major accident or illness.
• In Minnesota, you can purchase health insurance through MNsure.org, you may even qualify for free or reduced cost plans!
