Congressman Matt Cartwright sent me this email. I’m sharing it with you:
“Friend,
Starting today, the new health care law will allow Americans looking for health coverage to purchase health insurance through their state’s online Marketplace. It’s your health, made simple.
These new online Marketplaces provide Americans looking for coverage a very simple way to get health insurance: insurance that will meet their needs, their lifestyle, and their budget at any income level.
In states’ new online Marketplaces, Americans will be able to shop among affordable choices, explained in easy-to-understand language.
It is estimated that substantially more than half of those shopping in the new Marketplaces will qualify for discounts on their monthly premium, based on their income, which will make the premiums more affordable.
In the Marketplaces, people will be able to see all of their health insurance options – including the new discounted plans that can fit their needs. All in one place, all explained simply.
In the Marketplaces, there is no denial for pre-existing conditions, no annual or lifetime limits, and no higher rates for women compared to men.
The open enrollment period for the first year of the Marketplaces runs from Today, October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014.
Pennsylvanians looking for health coverage should go to www.healthcare.gov and find the state’s online Marketplace. If you have questions, you can call 1-800-318-2596, a toll-free hotline open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my Scranton District office at 570-341-1050.”
