DEADLINE ALERT! LEARN HOW TO AVOID THE TAX PENALTY!

It’s never smart to avoid having health insurance — one accident can lead to an emergency room visit and tens of thousands of dollars in bills, or learning you have cancer when it’s too late to treat it. Now there’s another reason to get insured — taxes!

ChapCare is hosting a FREE, special Covered California open enrollment assistance event.

Saturday, December 12, 2015 from 10a - 3p at 513 E. Lime Avenue, Monrovia CA. Just 4 blocks from downtown Monrovia.

Certified Enrollment Counselors will help you get your questions answered and enrollment in a high-quality, affordable plan and help you avoid the costly tax penalty.

Its the law! Everyone in the United States is now required to be part of our health insurance system — buying health coverage for themselves and their families rather. Those who don’t buy health insurance in 2016 may be subject to the penalty, which is $695 per person in a household or 2.5 percent of their income, whichever is greater. A family of 4 could pay up to $2,086 in fines. Yikes!

The best way to avoid the tax penalty is to buy health insurance during the Covered California open enrollment period. Of those already enrolled, almost 90 percent got financial help to cover their premiums.
