Latino Enrollment Summit
Congressman Marc Veasey to Join Dallas Community Organizations to Help Latinos Enroll in Affordable Health Care Plans
Dallas, TX – On Saturday, March 1st, Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, will join LULAC, Get Covered America, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America in a bilingual community event to help Latinos learn and enroll in quality health care plans available under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
This joint effort will allow attendees to obtain information on the new insurance plans, discover what financial assistance may be available to them, and work one-on-one with certified ACA navigators to get enrolled onsite. On the day of the event, attendees interested in enrolling will need to provide an email address, social security number, proof of legal residency (residence card, or citizenship certificate, or passport), and income verification in order to apply.
In the state of Texas, 3.3 million Latinos are uninsured. With 63 percent of the Latino population in Dallas lacking health insurance, Congressman Veasey continues to work tirelessly to educate the community on its healthcare options.
“Family is one of the most important things in American culture, especially in the Latino community,” said Congressman Veasey. “Let’s work as a family, by taking care of each other and informing each other to make sure affordable healthcare is available to everyone.”
