Time will prove whether or not the ACA will be able to help community members to obtain affordable insurance, but it is certainly worth the uninsured taking the time to research the options.

The Affordable Care Act includes sweeping changes and a number of options in healthcare coverage. Ohio has chosen to use the federal exchange for health insurance. The federal exchange is located online at Healthcare.gov.
The federal exchange will open October 1, 2013. If an individual wishes their health insurance to begin January 1, 2014, they must enroll by mid-December. Open Enrollment will close March 31, 2014.
