Atlanta, Ga. - October 1, 2013 -
OFA-GA volunteers have kicked-off the opening of the new health insurance marketplaces with action events in Atlanta. With limited support from Georgia's state administration, OFA volunteers are working to help Georgians understand the health care marketplace and guide them toward marketplace navigators.
WHO: OFA-GA volunteers, Senate and House Democratic leaders and local activists
WHAT: Grassroots Action Event on the first day of the new Health Insurance Marketplaces
WHERE: Georgia State Capitol, 206 Washington St. Atlanta, GA 30334
WHEN: Tuesday, Oct. 1, 5 p.m.
The rally will be the culmination of day-long health care information activities.
In addition to today's events, Organizing for Action will conduct volunteer trainings during the first two weeks of October and continue grassroots action events into the fall and spring. OFA volunteers will be trained to cut through misinformation, answer common questions about the law and guide their neighbors towards resources that will help them get affordable coverage if they need it. The six month enrollment period is a crucial time to help uninsured Georgians get the facts they need to sign up for affordable insurance coverage for themselves and their families - many for the first time.
