CO health care signups: clock ticking

interview with Ben Davis and Linda Kanamine, Connect for Health Colorado

With just days remaining in the open enrollment period for the state health exchange, Connect for Health Colorado has pulled out all the stops, staffing up their call center, and offering a full series of public meetings to sign up subscribers face-to-face.

On “First Take with Lando and Chavis,” we did two interviews with Connect for Health Colorado staff, first with Ben Davis regarding technical aspects of the campaign, and with Linda Kanamine on the details of signing up in the final week.

This week the Obama administration announced it has “softened” the March 31 deadline in other states as well, saying people having trouble getting the full enrollment completed in time will be considered “in” as long as their account has been opened with the state health exchange.

Details on the Colorado health exchange are available at the website www.ConnectforHealthCO.com.
