In a little more than 100 days, Obamacare health insurance exchanges in each state will open for enrollment. But a lot of Americans don't know that.
That's why advocacy groups around the nation are stepping up their efforts to educate consumers about the options that could be available to them through Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act, come October 1.
Enroll America, a coalition of community organizations, health groups and businesses, is working with partners to hold more than 75 events in 27 states this weekend.
The programs, which include door-to-door visits, talking to people at churches and setting up tables at neighborhood gatherings, are aimed at telling the uninsured and underinsured about the plans that they could be eligible for next year. They will provide information about the suite of essential benefits -- including drugs, mental health and emergency room coverage -- that must be included in each plan, as well as the financial assistance available to those who need it.
"We are keeping the message simple and focused on things people need to hear [about] the health care options best for them and their families," said Anne Filipic, president of Enroll America.
Another group that will get the word out this weekend is the Texas Organizing Project. It plans to ramp up its outreach efforts with three workshops in Dallas aimed at reaching the uninsured. For the past few weeks, members have been sending out fliers, knocking on doors and setting up phone banks. The goal is to engage with tens of thousands of families before enrollment begins.

“Enroll America, a coalition of community organizations...”
The paybacks to ACORN are all in place now. Should have called Obamacare “reparations.”
I hope Obamacare comes down like a house of cards, which it is.
It’s going to self implode. I hope.
replacing the carbon credit trading exchange...
Really?
I could puke just reading the moronic comments on the CNNMoney site. These young people have no clue
I saw on Fox News that these people, who are not vetted and are private citizens, will have access to our private medical records and finances in order to “advise” us.

I read the comments and you’re right. It’s disgusting.
At least about half the comments were right.

The Democrats use ‘privacy’ to kill babies ~ and pick your pockets now.
Communism.
This needs lots of play.
I believe that at last count, there were 36 states not going to play the exchange game. They see what happens in a few years. The exchanges are/were the lynchpin so to speak. The remaining 14 states are well on the way to bankruptcy anyway.
