Hi OBRA land: I am working with two magazines, one in Hood River and one in Bend, that are writing stories about the Affordable Care Act and the benefits of health insurance. The mags are looking for people who've been injured doing a sport they love but who didn't have health insurance at the time of the injury. The goal of both articles is to educate active Oregonians about affordable insurance options under the ACA & the benefits of having insurance.

If someone out there 1) was injured riding or doing another sport and 2) ended up facing steep medical bills due to lack of health insurance or inadequate insurance, please send an email to erin@brinkcomm.com to learn more. Your story could help Oregonians understand why they need to purchase insurance and apply for subsidies if they can when the next open enrollment period begins on November 15. Thanks.
