HERE WE GO AGAIN. ANOTHER SIGN-UP PERIOD FOR HEALTH INSURANCE BEGINS SATURDAY. AMY DOWD, THE C-E-O OF THE NEW MEXICO HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE, SAYS THEY'RE HOPING TO ADD TO THE NUMBERS FROM THE FIRST ENROLLMENT PERIOD THAT ENDED IN MARCH. SHE SAYS THEY'RE OPTIMISTIC THE TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM WORKS BETTER THIS YEAR.
THIRTY-FOUR-THOUSAND NEW MEXICANS SIGNED UP DURING THE FIRST ROUND, WHICH LASTED SIX MONTHS. BUT DOWD SAYS THIS SIGN-UP PERIOD WILL LAST ONLY THREE MONTHS, SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO ENROLL EARLY IF YOU STILL DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE.
