***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2022***
HHS Regional Directors Dr. Jeffrey Reynoso and Joseph Palm, Lawmakers and Advocates to Discuss ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment in Ohio, Iowa, and Arizona
Today, Protect Our Care will host events in three states with two regional directors of Health and Human Services, state lawmakers, and health care advocates to discuss the ACA Open Enrollment 2023 period, and will provide resources needed to enroll in quality, affordable coverage.
The Inflation Reduction Act will keep health care costs low for the ACA marketplace plans this year. It is historic legislation that reduces health care premiums for 13 million families purchasing coverage on the ACA marketplaces. On average, families will save thousands of dollars a year on health care, giving them the much-needed breathing room to pay for other essentials like rent, groceries, and gas.
