Invitation to all community members / friends to learn first-hand about the ACA and the health marketplace so they may take appropriated action to benefit themselves or their families.

NANAY CEDC is launching a campaign to encourage Asian to sign up for health coverage when next enrollment begins in this November.

“The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made some gains in reducing levels of uninsured Asians, but there are still too many in our community who remain uninsured,” said Winnie Tang, President of NANAY CEDC. “We will partner with Epilepsy Foundation of Florida and Health Council of South Florida to begin an effort to engage, educate, and enroll Asian families.”

“Access to quality affordable health insurance should not be a luxury.”  Josephine Gordy, Member of Miami-Dade County Asian American Advisory Board.  “It is a way to significantly improve people’s lives and maintain our nation’s economic strength.”

NANAY CEDC will provide support and bilingual, culturally competent enrollment materials to local groups in South Florida area.

We would like to invite you to the CMS Partner/stakeholders Meeting / Community Roundtable to learn more about the ACA coverage for new enrollment and renew their existing plan or select a new one for 2017.

For small business owners, you may learn about Small Business Health Options Program – SHOP to offer a quality, affordable health insurance to your employees
