Mayor Muriel Bowser will ring the bell to kick off open enrollment—encouraging DC residents to sign-up for health insurance at DCHealthLink.com, the District’s state-based health insurance exchange established under the Affordable Care Act.  She will be joined at the press conference by Mila Kofman, Executive Director of the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority. Residents enrolled in DC Health Link will speak. After the press conference, Mayor Bowser will tour the onsite enrollment center witnessing live enrollment in action.

DC Health Link will be targeting neighborhoods with higher uninsured populations for direct door-to-door outreach through its “Knock, Knock” Door-to-Door Canvassing Campaign. ” The campaign, which is part of the hyperlocal approach to reach the remaining uninsured, is designed to reach the residents in Wards 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 where they live, work, shop, play and pray.
