Super Saturday is an enrollment day unique to Wisconsin. Navigators, certified application counselors and health insurance agents will be on site to help consumers enroll in coverage through BadgerCare Plus or the Health Insurance Marketplace Saturday, Nov. 12. Bring Social Security numbers, paystubs, birthdates and information on health insurance offered through your employer for everyone in your family, so we can help you apply for coverage. Also, if you have a username and password for healthcare.gov be sure to bring it.

Remember, if you do not sign up for health insurance, you will have to pay a fine when you file your taxes.
