Public Meeting Calendar (updated 3/25/08)

We will list public Information Sessions on the Health Care Reform Law from various organizations. We strongly suggest that you take notes at these sessions (bring a note book and pen with you and your business cards- you may meet some people who you want to take down their contact information and share your information with).

The Artists Foundation co-hosted a series of Artist Town Meetings Across the State. They were free and open to the public. One of the key topics that was covered was the health care reform law and what artists need to know to navigate it. More events will be scheduled in late Spring of 2008.

Also the Connector Authority is planning to hold informational sessions across the State in 2008 and you will be able to enroll on site for the subsidized health plans (MassHealth/Commonwealth Care) and Commonwealth Choice Plans. If you plan to enroll at these sessions-see our how to define your income and how to prepare sections. 

"Individuals and businesses will have one-on-one access to the experts in order to get a better understanding of their responsibilities under the law. Uninsured individuals are able to enroll on-site, and can start building relationships with local health centers and hospitals." - The Connector

We will post information when it becomes available from the Connector.
