Healthcare reform help, online and in your neighborhood

Unsure about what healthcare reform means to you?  You’re not alone.

In just a few months, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will increase access to health insurance for millions of Americans, broaden healthcare benefits, and offer new ways to purchase coverage.   But many individuals and families are still confused about the law and what these changes mean for them.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies want to make it easier for Americans to understand healthcare reform. So we’ve joined with Walgreens online and in your neighborhood, to provide you with the information you need at LearnAboutReform.com

Through this new collaborative, consumers will be able to walk into their local Walgreens store and find easy-to-read materials that outline the benefits and protections available to them under the law, learn how to purchase health coverage through the new online insurance marketplaces that are set to open this October and find out how to determine if they’re eligible for financial assistance.  

Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Walgreens have also launched a new website, LearnAboutReform.com to serve as a ‘go to’ guide to healthcare reform.  You can find additional information about the law and the online marketplaces, get answers to  frequently asked questions and find a  glossary of commonly used healthcare and insurance terms.
