SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Obamacare’s open enrollment period ends February 15th and those without health insurance may face penalties.
Gloria Baca with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid says now is the time to act and avoid penalties.
People who do not have health insurance from other sources, and who do not enroll in the Marketplace by February 15, could find themselves shut out of the market for the rest of the year, and may face substantial penalties for being uninsured.
Baca says to get started go to healthcare.gov.
18,000 South Dakotans have enrolled in the Marketplace.
