Buying Massachusetts health insurance?

Need to buy health insurance in Massachusetts? Now's the time!

Are you planning to purchase a health insurance plan without an employer or government subsidy? 

Massachusetts state law sets 2 open enrollment periods for 2011:

• January 1 through February 15, and
• July 1 through August 15

Unless you meet special conditions, you must apply for a health plan by February 15, 2011. If you don't, you will have to wait until July 1, 2011. In future years, the open enrollment period will take place from July 1st - August 15th only.
