MNsure Seeing Record Enrollment

Ten thousand people have signed up for coverage in the first two days of open enrollment in Minnesota.

MNsure is handling record levels of traffic this year.

It’s driven by concerns about massive premium increases and plan availability for 2017 coverage.

State officials are still investigating a suspicious surge of nearly 50,000 calls on Tuesday morning that jammed phone lines as enrollment first opened.

Those calls and a home page outage that affected 70 state websites frustrated shoppers searching for a plan.

Open enrollment lasts through the end of January.
