The Affordable Care Act is a landmark health reform law that ensures affordable, quality, and accessible health care as a right, not a privilege, for every American. The law also ensures that all Americans take personal responsibility for their own healthcare costs, which protects the well-being of working families and the strength of the middle class.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Texas has the highest rate of individuals without health insurance and the largest number of children without health insurance in the nation. In Webb County alone, 36.8% of residents do not have health insurance (source: Center for American Progress).
This is why I am hosting a Health Insurance Marketplace Community Seminar with local agencies and organizations to provide all of the resources you need to get informed and get covered.
The workshop is open to the public and will provide an introduction to the Affordable Care Act and the new health insurance marketplace. Join us to understand how to purchase health insurance and where to obtain assistance in enrolling for coverage locally in Webb and La Salle Counties from Certified Application Counselor Organizations. These organizations have trained Certified Application Counselors readily available to guide you through the application process.
