Pomona, Calif. – Covered California partnered with Kalitta Motorsports and J.R. Todd, the first African American and NHRA Funny Car champion, at the NHRA season finals at the Pomona Auto Club Raceway, to raise awareness about health care coverage options in California. Peter V. Lee, executive director of Covered California, was on hand spreading the message that Covered California wants to make sure consumers are aware they are in their corner providing affordable, quality healthcare coverage.
There is more financial help available than ever, but those are not the only changes including early a million Californians will qualify for financial assistance to get coverage during open enrollment, middle-income individuals and families who make between $50,000 and $150,000 annually are eligible for help for the first time and California also restored the individual mandate, which lowered the cost of coverage, by requiring most people to get covered or pay a penalty.
