DC Health Link Town Hall Meeting

Last August 2012, Mayor Vincent C. Gray established the DC Heath Benefit Exchange Authority to implement President Obama's new health care law. The bill, which is known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), was signed into law March 23, 2010 and as a result, thousands of Americans including District residents, small business owners, and their employees will soon have access to comprehensive, affordable health coverage.  Many individuals and families will qualify for help paying for health insurance premiums.

As a national leader in fulfilling the promise of the health care law, The District of Columbia through its DC Health Benefit Exchange (HBX) is building a new online marketplace – called DC Health Link – for District residents and small businesses to get the facts about their rights and benefits, shop for coverage, and compare options side-by-side before choosing the plan that best meets their needs and budgets. Residents will begin to enroll in the health plan of their choice on October 1, 2013, with coverage starting January 1, 2014.

To learn more about DC Health Link and the affordable, high-quality health insurance options offered as well as about the new Medicaid options, attend the Ward 5 DC Health Link Town Hall meeting.  The meeting will be held this Saturday, July 20, 2013 – 10:00 am at Turkey Thicket Recreation Center – 1100 Michigan Avenue, NE.
