Our Focus
We envision a Connecticut where everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status—can achieve optimal health. To make this a reality, we focus on four areas that are critical to ensuring that the next generation will not face the same persistent racial and ethnic health disparities.

October 25, 2018 Resources and Fact Sheets

2019 open enrollment messaging toolkit and graphics

Purpose

This toolkit provides suggested messaging, resources and graphics that can be shared to educate and inform CT residents about the importance of enrolling in health coverage and the steps they need to take to get covered for 2019. It also provides information about staying covered and using health insurance. This year, it’s important to stress the need to review and compare plans before renewing coverage because many people might face rate increases if they keep their current plans. Shopping around could lead them to a better, lower-cost option.

Connecticut-specific messaging

Similar to last year, Connecticut-specific messaging will be important because some information used in national tools does not apply here. Connecticut does not use the federal exchange; state residents sign up for coverage through Access Health CT, www.AccessHealthCT.com.

Direct people to Access Health CT to enroll and learn more: http://learn.accesshealthct.com/choose/
To find local assistance: https://www.accesshealthct.com/AHCT/DisplayAssistanceSearch?activetab=help

Questions? Feel free to contact Liz Kellner, senior communications officer, Connecticut Health Foundation liz@cthealth.org. You can also find the most updated version of this toolkit on our website at https://www.cthealth.org.
