BRIEF: Wisconsin Farmers Union issues reminder on Obamacare enrollment

Nov. 16--The Wisconsin Farmers Union is reminding farmers that Dec. 15 is the deadline to enroll in the Affordable Care Act health insurance marketplace.

In a news release, Wisconsin Farmers Union President Darin Von Ruden noted that enrollment is outpacing last year despite concerns about reduced funding for federal Obamacare programs.

"Though there is room for improvement in the Affordable Care Act, the impact the marketplace has had on rural Wisconsin cannot be denied--it has been a game-changer for many family farmers who struggled to find insurance due to being self-employed or having pre-existing conditions," Von Ruden said in the release.
