AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE!
Thousands of Alabamians may qualify for premium tax credits to help buy private health insurance in the Health Insurance Marketplace. Individuals MUST enroll by February 15th to apply for coverage starting March 1st. The days leading up to the February deadline are the last opportunities to secure health insurance with the exception of qualifying life events like the birth of a child, marriage/divorce or other circumstances.
Birmingham Healthcare, The Dannon Project, the NAACP, and Birmingham City Councilor Marcus Lundy are hosting a health insurance enrollment event at the North Birmingham Recreation Center (3501 28th Street North, Birmingham, AL 35207) from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 4th, to enroll Alabamians in affordable and quality health care plans. Professionally trained HealthCare.gov Assisters will be available to help individuals and their families find plans that meet their health and financial needs.
It’s important to note that finding the right health care plan takes time and waiting until the last minute can be challenging and time consuming. This is the perfect opportunity for individuals to get expert help in a relaxed environment without the pressure of a deadline forcing a rushed decision. Those seeking to secure a health care plan should anticipate a minimum of 45 minutes to complete the process.
Remember Open Enrollment ends February 15, 2015.
