NC Get Covered would like to bid a heartfelt farewell to Enroll America, North Carolina’s leader in ACA outreach and education for more than four years now. On August 11, Enroll America NC will close its doors, leaving an indelible mark on our state.
Enroll America staff, under the leadership of Sorien Schmidt, has gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that North Carolinians were knowledgeable about the ACA, their eligibility, and how to obtain and properly use their insurance. From co-chairing and emceeing the 2016 In-Person Assister Conference (Mark Van Arnam, NC Deputy State Director); creating a toolkit for faith communities to engage in ACA outreach and enrollment activities (Angela Cameron, Deputy Regional Director); connecting Latino organizations to local ACA resources (Joyce Gamarra, Deputy Regional Director – Latino Outreach); helping outreach and enrollment organizations stay focused and on message during uncertain times (Lovemore Masakadza, Communications Director); and giving health care in our state a face by using pictures and data to tell the consumer’s story (Sorien Schmidt, State Director) – Enroll America has played a critical role in North Carolina’s outreach and enrollment success. Thank you for your partnership! You will be missed!
– Willona Stallings, Director, NC Get Covered
Below is the final newsletter from Enroll America, a recognized leader in ACA outreach and education both nationally and in our state. Enroll America NC will close its doors in August of this year, and the void that will be left behind once they are gone cannot be measured or adequately expressed with words. Please join Care Share Health Alliance in thanking Enroll America for their hard work, dedication, leadership and, most importantly, their partnership these past four years!
Enroll America Final Newsletter
On March 24th 2017, the health care bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act was withdrawn because there was not enough support for the bill to pass. Speaker Paul Ryan said “Obamacare is the law of the land and this will be the case for the foreseeable future.”
It’s more important than ever for us to educate consumers about the ACA and enroll them into coverage both during the current Special Enrollment Period and next Open Enrollment Period in order to counter the message that the ACA is in a death spiral. We want the ACA to succeed in order to ensure health insurance coverage for North Carolinians who need it the most.
