Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick Urges Constituents To Sign Up For ACA Marketplace Health Insurance By Sunday, January 15th

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 -- Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Florida, issued the following news release:

A new report by the American Cancer Society has found that cancer deaths have dropped by 33% since 1991, but Black men and women are still more likely to die from prostate, uterine, and breast cancer compared to others. The incidence of prostate cancer in Black men is 70% higher than in White men, and prostate cancer mortality rates in Black men are two- to four-times higher than every other racial and ethnic group.

We must do better as a nation and as a Congress to protect the lives of Black Americans from preventable and screenable death--I will fight to do just that in the 118th Congress.

For the nearly 120,000 Floridians in the 20th Congressional District living without health insurance, I strongly urge you to go to HealthCare.gov and see if you qualify for an ACA Marketplace health insurance plan before the end of the Open Enrollment Period this Sunday, January 15th.

Through the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats extended lower ACA premiums to make health care more affordable and more obtainable for all Americans. Four out of five HealthCare.gov enrollees can find coverage for $10 or less.

If you need help navigating, individuals can enroll or re-enroll in health insurance coverage for 2023 by visiting HealthCare.gov or CuidadoDeSalud.gov, or by calling 1-800-318-2596 to fill out an application.

Individuals needing assistance signing up for coverage may go to "Find Local Help" on HealthCare.gov to find a Navigator, Certified Application Counselor, agent, or broker: https://www.healthcare.gov/find-assistance/.
