Dallas city officials noted that more than 700,000 Texans signed up for a healthcare plan under the Affordable Care At during the first open enrollment period, But because Dallas County has the most uninsured residents in Texas, the push to get more people to enroll in a healthcare plan will continue this fall.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Monica R. Alonzo and the Enroll Dallas Coalition are hosting Saturday’s event, which is open to the public. The event will be bilingual. Representatives will be onsite to discuss healthcare basics, the upcoming fall enrollment period and children’s Medicaid, CHIP and WIC programs.
This event is the first in a series of educational events presented by the Dallas County Affordable Care Act Coalition., which is led by Alonzo, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Regional Director Marjorie Petty.
