Webinar: The Affordable Care Act and the I/DD Community
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
2:00 to 3:00 PM EST
 
The Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges are now open, and starting this January, many people with pre-existing conditions will have access to affordable private insurance coverage for the first time. This new law brings a lot of big changes, and people still have questions about what this will mean for them. To address that, ASAN has partnered with the Autism NOW National Resource and Information Center to provide an overview of the Affordable Care Act, its impact on your life and advocacy issues connected to it
 
On Tuesday, October 15th, Autism NOW will be holding a webinar led by ASAN's own Ari Ne'eman to help answer some of the questions you might have about how the Affordable Care Act impacts people with ID/DD. The webinar will provide a broad overview of the ACA's major provisions, the anticipated changes the ACA will bring over the course of the coming years and a summary of potential advocacy priorities that the I/DD community can pursue regarding the ACA's implementation.
 
Based off the recently released ASAN Policy Brief on the Affordable Care Act and the I/DD Community, this webinar is geared towards advocates, people with disabilities, family members and others connected to the Autistic and I/DD communities.
