Yingling Hosting Seminar on Health Insurance Information

ROUND LAKE BEACH, Ill. – With the insurance marketplace open enrollment period starting Nov. 1, state Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, is welcoming the Illinois Department of Insurance to present a Get Covered seminar to provide valuable information on how to enroll for health care coverage. The seminar will take place on Oct. 30 from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. at the Round Lake Park District Building, located at 814 Hart Rd. in Round Lake.

 “Having quality health insurance is essential to having a healthy life,” said Yingling. “I encourage anyone, even those who currently have health insurance, to attend this seminar and learn what they can do to get the best coverage possible.”

During this past legislative session, Yingling was a supporter of bipartisan legislation that contained many reforms to Medicaid in Illinois, including increasing cost efficiency while still maintaining a high quality of coverage, increasing transparency in claims, and reducing patient barriers to healthcare. In addition, Yingling has taken a stand on recent health issues in the state, including calling for the closing of two facilities in Lake County that emit ethylene oxide, a chemical known to cause cancer in the communities where it is emitted.

“Learning about the different options you may have on the health insurance marketplace can save you time and money, and lead to better coverage,” said Yingling. “I would like to thank the Illinois Department of Insurance for presenting this vital information to my constituents.”
