For libraries serving populations whose main language is not English, there are more resources at CoverME - Maine's health Insurance Marketplace. This is also a reminder that the deadline is Dec 15 to apply for health insurance beginning on January 1. See information below, which includes a poster for New Mainers.

The next week, leading up to the 12/15 deadline, is an important time to spread the word to people across the state who may benefit from affordable health coverage at CoverME.gov. I encourage you to think about community events or outreach efforts happening this time of year, which can serve as opportunities for promoting the Marketplace. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or if we can be helpful to your outreach efforts. Thanks for all that you do!
