Signing up for affordable health care will be a little bit easier through the end of March because of a partnership between Washington-Morgan Community Action and the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. <\/p>\n
The two organizations teamed up in October to offer a free health care enrollment process through a navigator grant. <\/p>\n
According to Carrie McNamee, director of senior and community services for Washington-Morgan Community Action, 36 people have been helped by the health care navigator. <\/p>\n
\"We definitely want to encourage people to call if they have a question,\" she said, adding that the hope was to help many more people before the March 31 deadline to sign up. <\/p>\n
The navigator can answer questions over the phone or local residents can make an appointment and go to Community Action to meet in person and review the website with a helping hand. <\/p>\n
Joree Jacobs, director of communications for the Ohio Association of Foodbanks, said there is a need for affordable health care and the assistance provided is just an extension of the services the organization offers. <\/p>\n
Assistance is provided by Washington-Morgan Community Action and the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. <\/p>\n
For local assistance in answering questions or setting up an appointment, call Community Action at 373-3745. <\/p>\n
Navigators will help those seeking assistance navigate the federal website and answer the questions, but it is up to each individual to decide which plan is right for them. <\/p>\n
Each individual will need to know budgetary and tax information going into the appointment. <\/p>\n
