The open enrollment period for those seeking coverage through the Affordable Care Act ends on February 15. As NC Policy Watch’s Chris Fitzsimon pointed out shortly after this latest round of enrollments began, the process is going smoothly, the website is working, and, most importantly, people’s lives are getting better. In some cases, lives are being saved.
In the last weeks of enrollment for 2015, agencies across North Carolina are holding events to provide in-person assistance to anyone needing help as they sign-up for health care. Some of those are listed below.
In addition, online information is available from a variety of sites. Just some of those include:
