 A special extension period for certain min-sure applicants has been announced. Minnesotans who have not enrolled for any insurance and will not be eligible for a tax credit will be able to apply during the extension. Those who meet this criteria will be able to receive a 25% reduction in private insurance monthly premium prices. So it's providing people who simply believe that they could not afford health insurance because of how costly it's been to come back through and apply knowing that 25% of it will be paid for them. The special period will run from February 1st through the 8th. The current min-sure open enrollment period for all other applicants will close at midnight tomorrow.
