Scott Attends Enrollfest in Petersburg to Urge Virginians to Sign Up for Health Insurance
NEWPORT NEWS, VA - Tomorrow, with three days left in Obamacare's first open enrollment period, Congressman Robert C. "Bobby" Scott (VA-03) will attend Enrollfest in Petersburg. Enrollfest is one of many outreach events across Virginia focused on encouraging consumers to learn more about Obamacare and to enroll in coverage.
“There are just a few days left to sign up for health insurance coverage that begins in 2014,” Rep. Scott stated. "Open enrollment for 2014 ends on March 31st, so if you, a family member, or a friend needs health insurance, now is the time to select a plan and get covered."
"Events such as Enrollfest help to get the word out in the community and educate people about their options when it comes to healthcare," continued Rep. Scott. "There has been so much misinformation spread about Obamacare, but the more people we can educate about the benefits of the law, the more people understand what a good deal it is. The Marketplace allows people to shop for and enroll in affordable and comprehensive health insurance ? sometimes for the first time in their lives. It is important that we get the word out in these final days to make sure everyone can take advantage of the benefits of the law and get covered for 2014.”
