Howard to host virtual workshop on Pennie health insurance marketplace

MALVERN, Dec. 11 – State Rep. Kristine Howard, D-Chester, will host a virtual workshop with the Pennsylvania Health Access Network on the Affordable Care Act and Pennie, the state’s new health insurance marketplace, at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15.

“Pennie, the state’s new insurance marketplace, offers Pennsylvanians high quality, affordable health care coverage that meets their needs,” Howard said. “Deadlines are approaching, so I wanted to have this workshop where residents can learn about Pennie’s different plans and get their questions answered.”

Pennsylvanians seeking individual health insurance coverage for 2021 through the Affordable Care Act will use Pennie.com instead of Healthcare.gov. 

Open enrollment runs through Jan. 15, but Dec. 15 is the last day to enroll for coverage to start in January. Coverage will begin in February for anyone who enrolls between Dec. 16 and Jan. 15.

Anyone interested can watch the workshop at www.pahouse.com/Howard.

Questions can be emailed in advance to RepHoward@pahouse.net and will be taken during the event.

Anyone who needs more information should contact Howard’s office at (610) 251-1070.
