Healthcare enrollment event Friday evening in Shoreline

Friday, January 27, from 5 - 8pm at Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave N, the Public Health outreach team will be available to help people sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

Qualifying applicants will also be able to get ORCA cards for transportation.

If you sign up by January 31, you should feel confident that your coverage will remain intact for the rest of 2017.

• Free oral birth control
• Free HIV test

• Free breast pump for pregnant and new moms

And, all plans must cover the following:
