Policy debates may continue to make headlines, but the facts remain: (1) the Affordable Care Act remains the law of the land; (2) open enrollment for coverage begins November 1 and ends December 15; and (3) coverage in Arizona remains affordable for eight out of ten Arizonans who purchase plans through the federal health insurance marketplace.

Navigating the “ins and outs” of insurance coverage is not for the faint of heart, which is why the Cover Arizona Coalition provide free, trained assistance statewide. Assisters are well-versed in exploring Medicaid, KidsCare and Marketplace options to find the coverage that best fits Arizona families.

Make sure everyone who needs coverage knows this: a convenient assister appointment is just clicks away, at coveraz.org/connector, or by calling the Coalition’s statewide assistance line at 800-577-3536.
