Getting Ready for Open Enrollment

As the third Affordable Care Act open enrollment period gets underway on November 1, consumer health advocates and outreach and enrollment partners are preparing to reach even more people this time around.

Social Media Content: Posts from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for Facebook and Twitter to spread the word about what consumers should do to access and keep their available health coverage.

Pitch Note: A customizable document you can send to your local media to position yourself as a valuable resource for information as open enrollment begins.

Sample Blog Post: A tool to tap into your existing audience to engage about the importance of open enrollment.
