Beginning October 1, 2013, individuals, families and small businesses can purchase health insurance plans under provisions of the ACA. Congresswoman will be joined- at the forum- by health industry experts to explain how South Floridians can enroll and learn what’s available to them. “In just a few short weeks, eligible South Floridians will be able to purchase affordable healthcare insurance under the Affordable Care Act. For the first time, the uninsured and the under insured will have access to insurance plans that meet their needs and their budgets. Because there is so much information to navigate through, I have put together a panel of health industry experts to explain to constituents what they need to know and to answers questions from eligibility, to the impact on Medicaid and Medicare, to federal subsidies and tax credits. “Because of the ACA, affordable health care is now a right for all, not a privilege for the few,” said Congresswoman Wilson.
