Free help available with Obamacare
Special to the Guardian
A certified HealthCare Navigator will be available at Alachua County Library District locations in east Gainesville through Feb. 15 to provide information about health insurance options available under the Affordable Care Act, as well as assist with signing up for health coverage.
Anyone wishing to enroll in health insurance, shop for a new plan or renew their health coverage can visit one of these locations for free, unbiased assistance. Information on local resources available for those who don’t qualify for the discounts and can’t afford the insurance is also available.
