League of Women Voters Sponsor Affordable Health Care Forum

Learn what affordable health care can do for you at a program sponsored by the Door County League of Women Voters. The forum will be Oct. 17, 6 – 8 pm, at Bay View Lutheran Church, 340 Maple St., Sturgeon Bay.

This program will present an overview of the provisions in the Affordable Care Act and clarify how uninsured Wisconsin residents can access coverage through enrollment in Wisconsin’s federally facilitated Marketplace/Exchange or under the revised Medicaid/BadgerCare in Wisconsin. How area doctors, hospitals and clinics are managing the new guidelines under the ACA will also be presented, including the mandated coverage of essential benefits and free preventive services.

The panel, moderated by Carol Koby, executive producer and host of the Madison radio show All About Living, consists of Brian McDonald, senior vice president managed care strategy and decision analytics from Aurora Health Care; Jeanne Rabel from the Community Clinic of Door County; and Brian Stephens, revenue cycle director for the Ministry Door County Medical Center.
