Hispanic Affordable Health CareTraining

Posted on February 22, 2014 by Camp Springs Civic Association

(Affordable Care Act Community Outreach) se le invita a una Obamacare formación…

Come help us inform the Hispanic community about the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) so they can get the facts they need to “apply, shop and buy” to be covered by the 1st. There is still a lot of misinformation out there and we want our Spanish speaking neighbors to have the information they need to get the benefits they are entitled to. The seminar will be conducted in Spanish but you don’t need to speak Spanish to volunteer. Help us get the word out there to encourage your Spanish speaking friends and acquaintances to come. The inital open enrollment period closes March 31, 2014 just 16 more days from the date of this event. Don’t be left uncovered! nos vemos allí!
