NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – The open enrollment deadline to sign up for health coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is Monday, March 31.
To assist constituents over the remaining days in the current enrollment period, Assemblymember Mariko Yamada (D-Davis) has compiled a list of organizations and events in the Fourth Assembly District where information regarding health coverage is available.
“Medical bills are the No. 1 cause of bankruptcies in the United States, but now, affordable health coverage is attainable,” Yamada said. “To be sure you get the right information; I encourage you to contact one of these local organizations to enroll in the health care plan that’s best for you and your family. Over one million Californians already have.”
Individuals who qualify for Medi-Cal must also enroll by March 31 to avoid incurring a penalty next year during tax season. Certain exceptions exist.
Many organizations have become certified to help individuals and families navigate health plan options.
A list of organizations with Certified Enrollment Counselors serving Colusa, Lake, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo Counties is available on Assemblymember Yamada’s Web site at www.asm.ca.gov/yamada .
