Message from our friends at Greater NYC for Change:

You might have seen the exciting news from the New York Times last week: Health Plan Cost for New Yorkers Set to Fall 50%
 
The extraordinary decline in New York’s insurance rates demonstrates the profound promise of the Affordable Care Act. But many who will benefit most from expanded coverage – 2.7 million uninsured New Yorkers – have no clue what is about to happen. That's where we come in.
 
"Get Covered New York" is a volunteer grassroots campaign looking to raise public awareness about the new affordable health insurance options available on October 1st. It is a joint effort between Health Care for All New York coalition, Greater NYC for Change, NYC for Action and many more.
 
Join us in helping reach communities through tabling, canvassing and phone banking. Note: this does require some training (but not expertise), so we volunteers can give out helpful information that is not misleading. Below are a few trainings coming up:
