4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. EST 

Join us for an exclusive webinar to explore the findings from the Marketplace Affordability Project, which explores cost challenges faced by individuals and families enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace coverage, and by individuals and families who are systematically excluded from access to that coverage. Community Catalyst and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) will provide an overview of the project’s key findings, including state and federal strategies to build on the ACA to lower premiums, reduce out-of-pocket costs, and improve health coverage affordability for low- and middle-income families.

In addition to presenting solutions to enhance coverage affordability, the webinar will present Community Catalyst’s and CBPP’s approaches to engaging local stakeholders—such as community advocates, Navigators, and enrollees—to unearth and develop these strategies. Attendees will gain practical insights into how organizations can collaborate with stakeholders to drive meaningful reforms. Ending with a Q&A session, participants will also have the opportunity to engage with the presenters and discuss how these strategies can help close coverage gaps and improve equitable healthcare access.

This webinar is designed for policymakers, healthcare advocates, researchers, and anyone invested in improving health coverage affordability through meaningful reforms to the Marketplace. Don't miss this chance to learn about the latest strategies to make the ACA more effective for consumers!
