Urban League Working to Make Sure Residents Have Health Insurance

The Urban League of Hudson County (Jersey City, NJ) is working to assist residents who are seeking a new health insurance plan next year by collaborating with the “Get Covered New Jersey” program.

The State of New Jersey has set up their own health exchange for people to get health insurance as an alternative to going through the federal health marketplace, commonly known as Obamacare.

Those with a plan through the marketplace living in New Jersey will automatically be transferred to Get Covered New Jersey.

“The Urban League is committed to lifting up the marginal and underserved … Hudson County has some challenges with reaching those who are uninsured,” said their health navigator, Kevin Jones.“

He explained that due to COVID-19, they are only providing remote assistance remotely, however, he said they will remain active on social media and plan to give presentations through there.
