New Health Care Website Connects Consumers to Coverage |
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched a new on-line tool designed to connect consumers with quality, affordable health insurance coverage. HealthCare.gov is the first centralized database of health coverage options, combining information about public programs, such as RIte Care and the new Pre-Existing Conditions Insurance Plan, along with information from more than 1,000 private insurance plans. HealthCare.gov also will be a major source of information about the Affordable Care Act (federal health reform) as it continues to be implemented. Check it out! |
