Health Care 101 on Tuesday's Access Utah

The Utah Health Policy Project has been presenting “Health Care 101” events to show how the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) is being implementing in Utah. Utah residents have until March 31st to enroll in new private insurance onhealthcare.gov

Jason Stevenson and RyLee Curtis of UHPP will answer your questions including: How does Utah’s insurance marketplace operate? Where can I shop for health insurance? How do I qualify for premium subsidies? Where can I find enrollment assistance? What about penalties under the ACA? We’ll also ask Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck D-Salt Lake City and Sen. Todd Weiler R-Woods Cross whether Utah should expand Medicaid coverage
