Plainfield UMC to offer "Understanding the Affordable Care Act"

What:  "Understanding the Affordable Care Act" Information Session
When:  Monday, October 7th - 6:30 PM

Where:  Plainfield United Methodist Church, 15114 South Illinois Street

October 1st marks the start of the open enrollment period for the new Affordable Care Act.  Beginning today, uninsured individuals can sign up for a health insurance plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace.  With certain exceptions, everyone must have health coverage or pay a penalty fee in 2014.  

If you have questions about the options for yourself or your business,  we invite you to join Plainfield United Methodist Church member Jessica (Wanek) Wachal to learn about healthcare reform and the Affordable Care Act. We will explain how the public marketplace and private exchanges operate. We will discuss how best to navigate the options available and what you need to do. We will cover what individuals need to know and what they are expected to do during the open enrollment period that ends March 31, 2014. 

Jessica Wanek has worked in the insurance industry for 20 years - both as an employee at insurance companies and as an instructor teaching insurance classes for individuals entering the industry. Ms. Wanek opened W Financial Services in 2002 committed to providing outstanding service and education to all of their clients.

This event is free and open to the community.  You can RSVP (optional) and invite your neighbors via our Facebook Event Page.
