Public Forums on Health Care Reform

Interested in learning more about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)? Residents are invited to attend any one of a series of community forums sponsored by the Montgomery County Regional Service Centers and the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services. 

The forums will address the impact of the ACA on residents ages 18 to 64 and will provide attendees the opportunity to learn more about the insurance coverage and potential assistance available through “Maryland Health Connection.” A brief presentation will be provided outlining the key components of the ACA, as well as how one can prepare for open-enrollment beginning October 1, 2013. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. Registration is not required.
