In response to recent polls citing that 78% of the uninsured do not know about
the new health care markets and that 83% do not know that they qualify for
healthcare, Commissioner Gershenson was compelled to act to get the word
out and educate residents about the system.
“As we approach the enrollment season, which begins October 1, 2013, it is
important that everyone understands how they could be affected as we begin
the educational process,” stated Oakland County Commissioner Marcia
Gershenson.
