Announcement from Community Health Partners:
Dear Community Members,
Join us for an important press conference as we give health care valentines to promote the Low Income Health Program, a coverage program for the uninsured. This event will show National Health Reform is becoming a reality and improving people's lives.
WHAT: Press conference highlighting the Low Income Health Program
WHEN: Thursday - February 14, 2013 at 12:00 pm
WHERE: 1030 Nevin Ave., Richmond, CA, in front of the Lifelong Medical Care Clinic
On Tuesday, February 14th, health focused community organizations and Richmond community members will gather to spread the word about the Low Income Health Program, a coverage program that is having a big impact on the uninsured in Contra Costa county.
The Low Income Health Program or LIHP is made possible by the Affordable Care Act's Medi-Cal expansion and the state's 1115 Waiver; and will allow half a million Californians to take advantage of expanded coverage options prior to 2014, when federal law expands coverage in the rest of the country. This early expansion of coverage is a county option, which most counties are taking advantage of in order to provide health care for the uninsured in a more effective and less expensive manner. The program brings federal dollars into Contra Costa County and economists estimate these dollars will bring thousands of jobs into local economies.
For more information about the event, please contact David Sharples, (415) 377-9037, dsharples@calorganize.org [mailto:dsharples@calorganize.org]
