Open Enrollment is Open!

We are trying to get the word out about healthcare. We are fighting for it, so let’s utilize it. Open enrollment is open right now, so let’s help people get covered!

OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR HEALTH INSURANCE BEGINS ON

NOVEMBER 1, 2017

Open Enrollment is the period when people can shop for insurance

through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces, and either

renew their old plan or sign up for a new one. Last year, 8 out of 10

people who signed up for coverage qualified for financial assistance,

which meant they could find premiums between $50 and $100 per

month. For most people, if they miss the Open Enrollment period,

they will be without health insurance in 2018.

by sharing this information. Your loved ones may not know that

affordable options are available to them, and it’s better to be covered

if something unexpected happens. By making sure word gets out

about Open Enrollment, you can protect the health and financial

wellness of the people you care about most.

Puerto Rico Needs Our Help!


As we sure you are aware, Puerto Rico has been devastated by hurricane Maria. These American citizens, these people, are in dire need of our help. There are 3.4 million people who live in Puerto Rico, many without the food, clean water, fuel, energy, and the communications they need. While Trump attacks the Mayor of San Juan, and continues to shirk his responsibilities to go golfing; we need to step up in his absence.

Here are links to two sites aggregating charities that could use our help. Please follow them and give as much as you can. Let’s show the country, and the world, the better angels of our nature.
