Help Available In Understanding ACA's Insurance Exchanges

Tuesday, October 1st, is the first day of the enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges.  Most people know that, but if you're like us, you don't have any idea how it might affect you.  State Rep Sara Feigenholtz is sponsoring an information session about it on October 17th:

"State Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, D-Chicago, will help residents sign up for the new health insurance exchanges at an information session on Thursday, Oct. 17 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the 19th District Police Station Community Room located at 850 W. Addison in Chicago.

“With the skyrocketing costs of health care, insurance has become more necessary than ever,” Feigenholtz said. “That is why it is important for the uninsured to take advantage of this new health insurance option and enroll in the new health insurance exchange. I encourage anyone who has individual concerns or needs assistance enrolling to come by and learn more about how the Affordable Care Act can help them.”

Feigenholtz was chief sponsor of Senate Bill 26, which allows Illinois to begin implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and operate health insurance exchanges. Residents can begin enrolling in the health insurance exchanges on Oct. 1.
