Health Insurance Exchange Forums this week in Colorado Springs and Greeley

Public forums on health insurance exchanges will be held this week--on Tuesday, October 26 in Colorado Springs at the Pikes Peak Regional Development Center, located at 2880 International Circle and on Friday, October 29 in Greeley at the Panorama Room of the UNC University Center, located at 2045 10th Avenue. Both forums will be held from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Information on these meetings as well as materials and minutes from previous forums are available on the state's Exchange Forums website.  

As part of the Affordable Care Act, states are responsible for developing health insurance exchanges. The exchanges will be virtual marketplaces where Coloradans will be able to obtain information to select and purchase health insurance plans and determine eligibility for federal subsidies and tax credits. The Colorado Coalition for the Medically Underserved, the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, and the state's Health Reform Implementation Board have been hosting a series of community forums across Colorado to discus the options for our state and collect input from stakeholders and communities.
