Enroll OC

Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez is getting out the word about Covered California and connecting Orange County residents with certified, in person bilingual health insurance enrollment services through her Enroll OC initiative. 

Last enrollment period Enroll OC helped more than 2,000 Orange County residents enroll in health insurance, contributing to the County’s unexpected success. After the first enrollment period, Congresswoman Sanchez followed up Enroll OC with Know Your Benefits bilingual workshops aimed at directly connecting newly insured Orange County residents with their healthcare benefits.

The Affordable Care Act, Covered California, and FAQ

Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), most Americans are required to purchase a health insurance plan. Californians can sign up through Covered California, an easy-to-use marketplace implementing the law in California.

The Affordable Care Act working in California, making health care a right not a privilege and moving us from a culture of coping to a culture of coverage. Over 1 million Californians enrolled in new health care plans through Covered California during the first enrollment period, cutting the state's uninsured rate in half. 

Through Covered California, you and your family can compare affordable, quality health insurance options and choose the one that best fits your needs and budget. By law, your coverage can't be dropped or denied if you have a pre-existing medical condition or if you get sick. Covered California gives Californians the power to access and choose the health care plan that fits their needs and helps make quality health care more affordable by offering financial assistance for those who qualify. Enrollment can be done online, on the phone, by mail or fax or in person with free and confidential enrollment assistance.
