One key component of national health reform, which will be enacted in 2014,
is the health insurance exchange. The health insurance exchange, also known
as the competitive health care market place, is a tool consumers use to
purchase health insurance. Health insurance plans in the exchange are
regulated by the government and must meet certain standards of coverage and
quality. Join us for this important community education meeting on the
health insurance exchange in the state of Illinois and get the information
you need as a consumer.

At this meeting we will discuss:
 *  Facts about the health exchange in IL.
 *  Coverage levels in the exchange.
 *  The status of the development of the health insurance exchange in
Illinois.
 *  Advocacy efforts around the exchange.
 *  How you can take action!

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
The event is wheelchair accessible. There is free parking at the Champaign
Public Library and is also accessible by several CU-MTD bus lines.
