ONEWORLD’S AFFORDABLE CARE (ACA) SIGN-UP INFORMATION.
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT MANDATES THAT ALL HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS MUST HAVE THESE 10 ESSENTIAL BENEFITS. PLANS THAT EXISTED BEFORE BUT DID NOT HAVE THESE BENEFITS MIGHT HAVE BEEN CANCELLED. THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS. ALL PLANS SHOULD HAVE THESE BENEFITS. LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT AT THE LINK BELOW AND SEE THE LISTING OF THE 10 BENEFITS: http://obamacarefacts.com/benefitsofobamacare.php
There is a penalty for not having health insurance coverage. The Emergency Room is NOT the place to obtain primary care health services. The ER is only for emergencies. It is extremely costly to our entire society and to the federal government when thousands of people use the ER as their primary care center. Good affordable coverage allows us all to get timely preventive coverage so that we can maintain health and well-being. We need to get annual check-ups so that doctors can identify any festering health problems early and help us to take corrective measures.

All private health insurance plans offered in the Marketplace will offer the same set of essential health benefits. These are services all plans must cover.
The essential health benefits include at least the following items and services:
- Ambulatory patient services (outpatient care you get without being admitted to a hospital)
- Emergency services
- Hospitalization (such as surgery)
- Maternity and newborn care (care before and after your baby is born)
- Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment (this includes counseling and psychotherapy)
- Prescription drugs
- Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices (services and devices to help people with injuries, disabilities, or chronic conditions gain or recover mental and physical skills)
- Laboratory services
- Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
- Pediatric services
Essential health benefits are minimum requirements for all plans in the Marketplace. Plans may offer additional coverage. You will see exactly what each plan offers when you compare them side-by-side in the Marketplace.

Living Resiliently: In the Wake of Hurricane Helene, LISC’s Sam Ruark Reflects
LISC’s new director of green initiatives is helping lead a groundbreaking effort to decarbonize the nation’s affordable housing and help low-income communities build resiliency in the face of the harmful impacts of climate change. Here, after personally weathering Hurricane Helene in the intentional “ecovillage” where he lives in North Carolina, Ruark paints a picture of what’s at stake, and how the planet and people can heal together.Tiffany Durr Named President of LISC Fund Management
Durr has served as interim president of LFM since May and in that time has ushered in a series of new investors and project closings. "She understands how to connect with investors on questions of risk, return and impact as well as how to make connections with developers, community organizations and city leaders to generate the best possible outcomes,” said Michael Pugh, LISC president and CEO.Power to the Changemakers: LISC’s Tatia Ash on Capacity Building with Respect
As capacity builders, we hope to help strengthen grassroots organizations so they can effectively—and independently—drive progress in their communities. To do that, argues LISC senior program officer Tatia Ash, we must not only guide but also listen deeply, show respect, and share power.
