Join Us for a Primer and Workshop on California's Health Insurance Marketplace
As you might know, California's health insurance marketplace, formed under the Affordable Care Act, is now open for sign-ups. Known as Covered California, the exchange aims to provide affordable health insurance options for those who do not already have affordable coverage through their employers. For those whose incomes qualify, a tax credit/subsidy is available to assist in purchasing insurance.
The Lupus Foundation of Northern California, in conjunction with the San Francisco Lupus Support Group will be holding a primer and workshop on Covered California, including options available to you and how to sign up for insurance. We will also have a speaker from Covered CA to speak and answer your questions. Here are the details:
What: A Primer and Workshop on Covered CA
When: Saturday, November 16, 2013. 11:00 am to 2 pm.
Where: Bayanihan Community Center, Barangay Hall, 1010 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103.
RSVP: Please RSVP by emailing communications@lfnc.org. There is no fee to attend but space is limited.
Even if you have had your application for health insurance denied before because of lupus or another pre-existing condition, under the ACA, you can no longer be denied. Come join us, and bring your friends who you think may need to get coverage as well.
This event is made possible through a partnership with
