Fellow Delawareans,

I’m writing to share a few thoughts about the Affordable Care Act, and to let you know about some resources you may find helpful.
It goes without saying that the enrollment period for the healthcare marketplace has been frustrating and challenging. I’m glad that President Obama is taking these problems seriously -- there’s no excuse for them. My focus has been on working with state officials to help Delawareans sign up for affordable healthcare coverage.
With that goal in mind, I wanted to make sure you knew about several upcoming opportunities to get help signing up for healthcare coverage and accessing financial assistance to better afford it.
- There are several events over the next few weeks where you can meet with experts in the sign-up process. Visit www.choosehealthde.com to see the calendar of events. This website also provides answers to a variety of frequently asked questions about the Affordable Care Act.
- Insurance agents and brokers can also help you sign up for coverage and recommend plan options. You can find a certified agent or broker on Delaware’s website, www.choosehealthde.com.
- More Delawareans will be eligible for Medicaid in 2014 because of the Affordable Care Act. If you think you may be eligible for Medicaid, you can learn more and apply here: https://assist.dhss.delaware.gov/
- You can visit www.healthcare.gov to shop for plans, apply for coverage and enroll.
- In addition, the following organizations have staff who can provide individualized help signing up for a plan:
