I have been informed that a Health Care Navigator will be at the Arnett Branch Library on Dec. 11 from 11 to 4 PM.  A navigator can be most helpful in showing you what plans would be most beneficial for you.  Some people have deadlines of Dec. 15 to be able to renew NYSofHealth plans.  You must if you have not received notice that your current plan has been renewed.  I have been informed mine was not renewed as they did not have enough information, due to household changes (or incompetency, my comment.)  You can do this online on your own, but choosing a plan is confusing, and a Health Care Navigator can do it on the spot if you bring the right information, which is basically last year's income info (tax filing) and current earning rate for all household members. 

You can qualify for free health care depending on your income. 

It is important to get this right, as last year you could have been fined $100 for not having health care insurance, and this coming year, it will go up to $200.

If you are unsure, see a Health Care Navigator.
