A One City Insured Public Meeting: Health Insurance You Can Afford
The Mayor’s Health Reform Implementation Committee (HRIC) cordially invites you to a community dialogue on the “future of health care in the District of Columbia.” This meeting, which is open to the community, will be Thursday, July 21, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church at 3000 Pennsylvania Avenue SE. Parking is available.
President Barack Obama signed the health care reform bill into law in March 2010, and the HRIC is heading the effort to implement the law in the District. The HRIC wants to know from you how the District’s health insurance marketplace should operate; who should it serve; and to get your input on affordability.
Who should attend: If you’re a small business owner; a single or married mom; uninsured or underinsured; insured through your job; have a pre-existing condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or cancer; a civic association or ANC leader; or run a health ministry, this is for you. This meeting is part of a series of forums and other events that are being conducted by the HRIC to obtain public input. And a lot of information is available on health reform -- what it is and what it will mean for you, your family or business. We need as much input as possible to make sure that the District’s health insurance marketplace offers high quality insurance at a price you can afford.
