In March of 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. This federal law focuses on consumer choices and protections and makes it easier and more affordable for individuals to find and enroll in health insurance. Illinois consumers can shop for health coverage on the Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace, including ABE (Expanded Medicaid), opening October 1.

Organizations or small businesses are invited to join us at Peoria City/County Health Department for a discussion of the Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace, the role of Peoria City/County Health Department in outreach and enrollment, and the benefits for uninsured individuals in Illinois.

For the opening of the Marketplace Oct 1, in participation with the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Peoria City/County Health Department announces their plans to provide trained, certified In-Person Counselors to help educate and enroll individuals in this path to health care coverage. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn more about the options now available for uninsured employees in small businesses that don’t have group health care options, uninsured young adults and families, and other individuals previously without access to affordable health insurance.
