A group of Island Volunteers are ready to help you sign up for Health Insurance through the State Health Exchange. We have taken the King County training. We will be at Chautauqua multipurpose room on Saturday Oct 26th from 10 - 3pm.
You may qualify for free health insurance or get a federal subsidy to pay for your health insurance. Basic Health is ending on December 31st, 2013. You must apply for health insurance through the exchange if you want to stay insured. All of us who are not covered by employer sponsored health insurance or Medicaid, are being asked by the government to sign up for health insurance. So if you are between 19 - 64 come and talk with us on Saturday.
What you need to bring:
1) 2012 tax return is most helpful
2) names, social security numbers and dates of birth for all household members
3) an e-mail address
4) you need to be able to estimate your 2013 income.
We will gladly help you navigate the system and get your application into the state.
