Norton to Speak at DC Health Link Open Enrollment Kick-off Day and Health Fair, Tomorrow

November 3, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will speak at DC Health Link's Open Enrollment Kick-off Day & Health Fair tomorrow, Saturday, November 4, at noon, at the Shaw (Watha T. Daniel) Neighborhood Library (1630 7th St NW). The Fair will provide residents and small businesses a prime opportunity to sign up for affordable health care plans offered in the District of Columbia's health insurance marketplace under the Affordable Care Act. The open enrollment began on November 1, 2017, and runs through January 31, 2018.

"At the Fair, I will explain that, despite attempts by President Trump and congressional Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, it is alive and well," Norton said. "DC Health Link has done a fabulous job signing up residents for health care, but we need to scoop up the few who have not signed up before. We are particularly grateful that, despite President Trump's action to drastically shorten the enrollment period in states that rely on the federal marketplace, DC Health Link will be open for business until January 31, 2018, giving D.C. residents ample time to sign up."
