Now, there is an expanded opportunity to sign up in Pennsylvania to assist anyone who has lost their job or who has been uninsured. The state-based health insurance marketplace Pennie is opening a new enrollment period that will extend through May 15th for anyone adversely impacted by the pandemic. Anyone who signs up will have their coverage begin at the first of the following month, so state leaders urge everyone who needs insurance to sign up as quickly as possible.
