I wonder if someone from OLA, or the OSL, or.... ? might want to see if<br>
CoverOregon wants to reach out to Oregon libraries in some way. Although<br>
general ACA info will be very helpful, it would be good to know the unique<br>
characteristics of Oregon's version of the exchange as well. It may be that<br>
some of our librarians don't even know that "CoverOregon" is the name of our<br>
version...<br>

I love the commercials.<br>

State Information Sources (fwd)<br>

Please excuse cross-posting.<br>

We are pleased to announce a new website regarding the Affordable Care Act<br>
with links to state-specific information for the Pacific Northwest.<br>

Here's the newest from our blog, Dragonfly:<br>
<br>
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT: NATIONAL AND STATE INFORMATION SOURCES<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Learn more about the Health Insurance Market Place & your new coverage<br>
options with Obamacare<br>
<br>
Beginning in October, the general public is expected to come to libraries<br>
and organizations providing health information in great numbers to learn<br>
about the health insurance requirements and options that will be available<br>
for them at the Health Insurance Marketplace, an element of the Affordable<br>
Care Act.<br>
<br>
To assist the Pacific Northwest Region (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and<br>
Washington) in knowing more about both national and state-specific news,<br>
information and resources to support these information needs, we have<br>
launched an Affordable Care Act website (<a href="http://nnlm.gov/pnr/ACA.html" target="_blank">http://nnlm.gov/pnr/ACA.html</a>) that<br>
is also linked at the top of our Quick Links section of our homepage<br>
(<a href="http://nnlm.gov/pnr/" target="_blank">http://nnlm.gov/pnr/</a>). We hope you find this information helpful and<br>
welcome your suggestions!<br>
