HHS Regional Directors Antrell Tyson and Joseph Palm, HHS Executive Officer Dennis González, State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-MI-19), and Health Care Advocates to Discuss ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment in Georgia, Minnesota, and Michigan
This week, Protect Our Care will host events in three states with two regional directors and one executive officer of Health and Human Services, state officials, and health care advocates to discuss the ACA Open Enrollment 2023 period which began on November 1, 2022.
The Inflation Reduction Act will keep health care costs low for 13 million families purchasing plans through the ACA marketplace this year. On average, families will save thousands of dollars a year on health care, giving them the much-needed ability to pay for other essentials like rent, groceries, and gas.
