Mayor Mike Duggan announced today that starting Monday, March 2nd, Detroiters will be able to sign up for affordable health insurance at select firehouses and recreation centers throughout the city.
The community based effort is part of the Mayor’s commitment to get residents enrolled under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by the March 31st deadline. In addition, the Mayor has designated March as Affordable Care Act Enrollment Month.
“Taking the signup process into our neighborhoods will provide easier access for our residents who need assistance with healthcare enrollment,” said Mayor Duggan. “Everyone deserves quality, affordable healthcare. The Affordable Care Act gives people options that fit their needs and their wallets. We want to see as many Detroiters as possible take advantage of this opportunity.”
The signup effort runs through the ACA enrollment period. Trained personnel will be on hand to help residents sign up for health insurance. Below are the locations and hours of each community enrollment location:
