Affordable Care Act

All-Day Enrollment Blitz Healthcare Signup

The Chapel Hill Public Library will be hosting an all-day enrollment session from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, March 24, to sign up for the Affordable Care Act. In addition, the library and its community partners will continue to offer regular sessions in their enclosed computer lab for residents to meet one-on-one with Certified Application Counselors throughout the month of March. Reservations and walk-ins will be available during these free, regularly scheduled sessions. Call the library at 919-968-2780 for session times, reservations, and to find out what information to bring in order to get signed up with a healthcare plan.

Certified Application Counselor Kate Douglas Torrey notes, "With the March 31 deadline for 2014 enrollment fast approaching, it is really important for folks without health insurance to sign up, avoid the penalty, and get covered. Did you know that from Oct. 1 through Dec. 23, 89 percent of those who enrolled in North Carolina got some financial assistance - affordable health care is now within reach for many people." Librarian Shannon Bailey adds, "The counselors are doing an amazing job assisting so many citizens, helping them through the process and facilitating signup."

The Chapel Hill Public Library is partnering with UNC Healthcare, the League of Women Voters of Orange-Durham-Chatham, Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina, and UNC's Student Health Action Coalition.
