Enrollment for 2018 health insurance through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace has begin, and the Center for Family Health will once again help families sign up for coverage.
This year’s enrollment window for Marketplace insurance – also called Obamacare – is shorter than ever before, so individuals and families must act quickly to meet the Dec. 15 deadline.
“Through all the political debate in Washington, Obamacare is still the law of the land, and families making up to four times the federal poverty level still qualify for tax credits that can make insurance premiums very affordable,” said Molly Kaser, President and CEO of the Center for Family Health.
“We urge everyone who is eligible for coverage to sign up between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15,” Kaser said. “Our staff will assist anyone who needs help with the enrollment process.”
The Center for Family Health has offered free enrollment assistance to all, including people who are not patients at the Center, each year since the initial roll-out of the Marketplace four years ago.
Anyone who needs help signing up for 2018 coverage should call 517- 748-5500 to make an appointment with the CFH enrollment department. Kaser said CFH offers Obamacare enrollment assistance as a free service to the community because it advances the Center’s mission of opening the door to health care for all.
“The Affordable Care Act has been very successful in driving down the rate of American families living without health insurance,” Kaser said. “Regardless of what decisions are ultimately reached by government leaders, our community and our nation benefit by continuing this progress in making health care more accessible.”
