Friends, colleagues, Ohio DFA family:
Tonight video clip from MSNBC All In with Chris Hayes with our DFA Dr. Manisha Sharma: http://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/obamacare-sticker-shock-58100291912
Medicaid Enrollment Website, Benefits.Ohio.gov is set to be rolled out in 2 weeks. The irony is the state of Ohio refused money from the federal government to set up the Health Market Places, thus Ohioans have to use Healthcare.gov instead of having our own website like Kentucky, Washington, Oregon, etc. where people are getting enrolled right and left, and yet, the Medicaid enrollment website will be run by the state of Ohio.
The current math is 275,000 Ohioans to be enrolled by Jan. 2014 or about 7,000 peeps a day, with 39 working days to work with! Let's get folks enrolled, I say. Realistically, perhaps 100,000 peeps the first year?
If anyone knows of a venue where to promote and educate, please let me know! I have a list, but let's hear them!
