Political
gamesmanship, followed by government shutdown. Surrounded by soundbites. So much
noise, so little information.
Consumer Reports cuts through the
noise.
Check out our free online tool,
HealthLawHelper.org, where you can find out what steps, if any, you
may need to take now that people have started enrolling in the new
health insurance marketplaces.
Just answer a few
short questions – your responses are anonymous and not recorded – and you will
get tailored advice about the Affordable Care Act based on where you live and
your personal situation.
If you need health
insurance, can’t afford it, or think you pay too much, this tool is for you. Use
it to figure out whether you qualify for financial help, how to shop for a
policy, and where to enroll.
Even if you get health insurance through your
job, the tool is worth checking out. While 80 percent of Americans will
see no real change in their coverage, scammers will be out trying to trick
people into buying things they don’t need.
There's so much
confusion around the law – what changes, what doesn't – that Consumer Reports
ALSO created a no-nonsense printable guide, Health Reform: 7 Things You Need to Know to be Ready. You can
download or print a copy here.
In it you’ll find straightforward answers to
your questions about the Affordable Care Act. If you’re on Medicare,
you’ll learn if anything has changed. If you simply can't afford coverage, you
can find out if your state agreed to expand Medicaid coverage to help you out.
And you'll know what new rules insurance companies have to follow so you get the
benefits you are promised.
If you find these
resources valuable, please share them with friends and family. Consumer Reports
has no agenda other than to get you information that will help you make the best
decisions for your family’s health and security.
