Last year, the national uninsured rate increased for the first time  since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010. Approximately 2 million Americans and 25,000 Michiganders lost health insurance coverage between 2017 and 2018. In light of these loss of coverage trends, as well as Michigan’s pending work requirements, this year’s open enrollment activities will take on new significance as the WHI’s Medicaid and Marketplace Outreach and Enrollment (MMOE) Group works to ensure that Washtenaw County residents enroll and stay enrolled.
Enrollment volunteers from Michigan Medicine, the St. Joseph Mercy Health System, and the Washtenaw Health Plan will be on hand to help individuals navigate and complete Medicaid and Marketplace applications on the following dates:

• November 7, Washtenaw Community College (all are welcome)
• November 20, Eastern Michigan University (all are welcome)
• November 20, University of Michigan (for U-M students)
