Congresswoman Johnson hosted a forum for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Health Braintrust “Making Good Health My Reality” tour. The event was held at St. Paul United Methodist Church from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and provided participants with critical information needed to prepare for enrollment in the Health Insurance Marketplace opening on October 1, 2013.
“When Obamacare is mentioned in the future, it will be in the same category as Social Security,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “We are about to embark upon one of the most dramatic and profound programs since Social Security.”
During the sessions, attendees were able to gain a complete understanding of the Affordable Care Act. Health experts from the local, state and national level shared key information about Medicaid, health insurance exchanges, and the impact of the new law on small business owners and employee coverage. The townhall also featured free, on-site health screenings and fun activities for families to enjoy.
