Newsletter: Are You Covered?

Statement

November 15, 2014

Dear San Franciscan,

Over 1.3 million Californians have enrolled in quality, affordable health care in California's health insurance marketplace, Covered California. Another 2 million more now receive care as a result of the expansion of Medi-Cal under the Affordable Care Act. The landmark law is strengthening the physical and economic health of our nation as never before, ensuring that health care will be a right, not a privilege, for all Americans.

Starting on November 15th, San Franciscans may apply for Covered California plans for 2015.Open enrollment ends on February 15, 2015. Current Covered California plans must be renewed by December 15th to avoid coverage gaps.

best regards,

Nancy

Building a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise can lower health care costs. Many resources exist for San Franciscans interested in making healthier food choices and fitting physical activity into their life.

Keeping your home safe and secure can also reduce the chances of a preventable accident landing you or a family member in the emergency room.
