Illinois State House District 50 issued the following announcement on Oct. 23.
Local residents interested in learning about their options to purchase a health care plan on the Get Covered Illinois marketplace and/or finding out whether they are eligible for Medicaid are invited to attend a free Health Insurance & Wellness Fair from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5 at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, located at 63 Fernwood Road. The event is sponsored by State Representative Keith Wheeler, R-Oswego and State Representative Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield.
Representatives from the Illinois Department of Insurance, Get Covered Illinois and other agencies will be on-hand to inform attendees of their health insurance options, including Medicaid and private plans.
