Residents Line Up to Enroll in Health Coverage

People are again lining up in New Haven and New Britain to sign up for health coverage through the state insurance marketplace before Sunday's deadline.

Jason Madrak, chief marketing officer for the state marketplace, said on Friday that there have been long lines outside Access Health CT's stores in both cities, like there were during the final days of last year's open enrollment.

Both stores will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday, as a storm heads this way for the weekend is expected to bring several inches of snow between Saturday afternoon and Sunday.

The call center will be open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. until the midnight deadline. People can also enroll online.

Access Health already exceeded its goal of enrolling 70,000 more people. About 500,000 people have enrolled in health plans over the two years.
