However, we’re hoping that the program will be up and running next week. To help speed up the process, make sure you have the following documents so you can finally get the relief you deserve.

Yesterday, I joined Speaker Sara Gideon, Maine Senate Democrats and Maine House Democrats on a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar calling for a special enrollment period in the ACA marketplace during the COVID-19 pandemic.

➡️ It will also allow more Mainers to get the preventive care they need and avoid ending up in our already overwhelmed hospitals.
It’s a simple move that can have major results, which is why my colleagues and I are calling on Secretary Azar to take quick and decisive action.
