Gov. Tony Evers, Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner Mark Afable, and Wisconsin Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm are encouraging Wisconsinites who have lost their health insurance coverage at any point this year to visit HealthCare.gov to enroll in health care coverage that works for them.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, allowing people who lost coverage through their employer and were previously prevented from enrolling in coverage due to COVID-19 to apply for coverage through an extended special enrollment period. A public-private partnership created by Gov. Evers in 2019 to help make sure every Wisconsinite has access to affordable health insurance resulted in the launch of www.WisCovered.com.
