There are people getting health insurance through the Affordable Care Act who have never had it in their lives. To maximize their benefits, and as a reminder for those less-health-insurance-literate among us, we need to review some of the basics about health insurance and how to best use it. Join us as we go through resources to share, terms to remember, and positive steps to take with the newly insured in using their insurance.
