Open enrollment begins soon for people who buy their health insurance through the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Exchange Authority (Pennie) program. State officials said they don't want the enrollment process to feel like navigating a corn maze.

She also says it’s important to update your Pennie account with current income information to avoid being hit with back taxes. Enrollment begins on November 1st and elections need to be made by December 15th for coverage on New Year's Day 2027.
