WASHINGTON, DC – On Tuesday, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will host a telephone town hall for residents of the First Congressional District to provide an update on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act including enrolling in the health insurance marketplace, which begins on October 1. He will also answer questions posed directly by his constituents.
“Many people have questions about how the Affordable Care Act will impact them and their families and whether or not they qualify for a subsidy if purchasing insurance through the marketplace,” said Congressman Butterfield. “This telephone town hall is an excellent opportunity to dispel many of the myths surrounding the law and for the residents of my district to learn more about the Affordable Care Act and to get their questions answered.”
In North Carolina’s First Congressional District alone, under the law, 94,000 seniors have received Medicare preventive services without paying anything out-of-pocket; more than 5,000 young adults have coverage through their parents’ health insurance; about 400 small businesses received tax credits to expand care to employees; and 34,000 children with preexisting health conditions are no longer denied coverage by insurers.
