“Get Covered New York” volunteers at Harlem Week, posing with State Senator Bill Perkins (center with hat) who stopped by our table to see what we were doing.
It’s time to kick off those summer sandals and get into some walking shoes. Enrollment for the New York Health Benefit Exchange begins October 1st and those who will benefit most – 1.1 million uninsured New Yorkers – remain unaware.
If you would like to help spread the word, please sign up below. Or, if you have questions, email Linda (getcoveredny@gmail.com). The Get Covered New York team will help provide training in the basics of the Affordable Care Act for volunteers to perform this important service. There’s no time to waste.
