The Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services has announced a record number of Michiganders signed up for health insurance on the Health Insurance Marketplace during the recent open enrollment period. It just closed last month. More than 322,000 Michiganders enrolled to have healthcare throughout 2023 via the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace. Governor Gretchen Whitmer says she’s “grateful for the work done by our federal and state partners to help a record number of Michiganders save money and enroll in a comprehensive health plan,” while noting there’s still more work to do. Open Enrollment for 2023 health insurance ran between November 1 and January 15. During that time, 322,273 Michiganders signed up for a new health plan on HealthCare.gov. That’s a nearly 7% increase over enrollment numbers for 2022, and a nearly 21% increase over 2021.
