Go to healthcare.gov.Open Enrollment Year 9 (OE9) started a week ago and CMS has designated this week as Disability Week of Action to encourage people with disabilities to review their health coverage for 2022 and determine if they need to make changes for the coming year. Throughout this week, AAHD will be participating in activities which highlight the opportunity which OE9 provides to the disability community and others who do not have health insurance or may just want to make changes for next year.

Throughout the week, we will be hosting social media activities and posting here on the NDNRC blog. Here is our schedule for the week. Later today, we will be posting a blog on “What the ACA Mean for People with Disabilities.”
