The future of our health care is on the ballot this fall, so we all need to be an informed "health care voter" as we go to the polls.

We also need to protect our election process during early voting (Oct. 24 thru Nov. 1) and on Election Day (Nov. 3), and then protect our votes during the counting and certification process afterwards.

Join us online or in-person on Wed. Oct. 28 from 6-7 pm to hear about "what's at stake" for health care in this fall's elections, how you can be an informed and committed health care voter, and how we can protect the election process. We'll also be discussing the major changes that are coming up very soon after the election for people who rely on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, and what they can do to prepare for that to protect their insurance coverage.
