Betty Jean Kerr People's Health Centers Resource Fair

Although 54,000 Missourians have selected Missouri Health
Insurance Marketplace plans*, thousands more are still without coverage despite
the March 31 deadline to obtain health insurance or pay a fine.



The Cover Missouri
Coalition
is working hard to change this through education efforts that
ensure Missourians understand their coverage options in the Marketplace.
Throughout March, Coalition members in the greater St. Louis area will be
actively answering questions and educating the public about the Marketplace,
hosting enrollment sessions, and offering extended office hours for certified
application counselors (CACs).



In total, there are nearly 90 events across the state –
including one in St. Louis.
