Do you lack health insurance?

Starting tomorrow, October 1, the Washington Healthplanfinder will open for enrollment for coverage starting January 1. Washington Healthplanfinder is Washington’s health insurance exchange created under the Affordable Care Act (aka “Obamacare”). It will allow you to compare insurance plans from different carriers and see if you qualify for subsidies to help you afford coverage.

Health plans at Washington Healthplanfinder are brand new, and all the basics are covered: doctor visits, prescriptions, maternity care, emergency care, preventive care like cancer screenings and vaccinations and more. No one will be denied coverage because they are sick or because they have a pre-existing condition. 

Visit www.wahealthplanfinder.org or call 1-855-WA-FINDER toll-free to learn more and enroll. If you need assistance, trained staff will be available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays through the end of the year at the Seattle Central Library, 1000 4th Avenue. Check with Public Health – Seattle and King County for exact hours.

You must register by October 7 to vote in the November election.

Registration is now open for Fall 2013 programs at the Belltown Community Center. Learn more here.

A group of neighborhood activists in Belltown felt that their community was full of resources and strengths, but that community groups, businesses, non-profits, and the government could be working more collaboratively. Through a series of discussions, the Belltown Community Council and other local organizations decided to form a steering committee and plan a 1-day training to encourage cross-sector cooperation.
