To help the community get a better understanding of upcoming changes to their health care, the League of Women Voters of Washington County, the Peters Township Chamber of Commerce, and the Peters Township Public Library will host “The Affordable Care Act at a Glance” on Saturday, April 20 from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the library.
Through a panel discussion format, this program about the Affordable Care Act will provide basic information about the parts of the law that will take effect in 2014 and explain the new way that individuals, families, and small businesses will be able to get health insurance. Whether you are uninsured or currently have coverage, you will learn how to explore your new options for insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Small business owners can hear a recap of provisions already in effect, the impact of future provisions, and the actions needed to maintain compliance. Learn more about “Exchanges” – organizations where individuals and small businesses will be able to purchase health insurance.
The panelists for the discussion include:
• Jerry M. Bonenberger, Senior Account Executive at BABB, Inc.
• Patricia Raffaele, Vice President, Advocacy & Communications at the Hospital Council of Western Pennsylvania
• Pennsylvania State Senator Matt Smith, representative of the 37th Senatorial District
