We're having our monthly health fair here where
we help bring about free medical consultations, free flu shots,
and I am here to ask everybody are you covered? If you're not I can make an
appointment for you to help you get insurance.
My name is Yang Sun and I am a Navigator
at the Midwest Asian Health Association.
We are in a community that we have a lot of new immigrants and we have
a lot of people
who are uninsured.
If they don't have insurance it's hard for them to get
comprehensive health care.
My name is Donald and I'm the owner of
Emperor's Choice restaurant in Chinatown.
Ms. Sun came and gave us a presentation and she told us
you know what kind information we need, what to bring to her,
so that she could easily help us apply. So that's what I did.
And explain that
their immigration status, or citizenship status, or that their income will
make them eligible for either Medicaid or the Marketplace insurance.
She explained to me that it is very easy,
you know, that it doesn't take long.
We're here to answer questions, and if they
cannot reach us they can go to GetCoveredIllinois.gov
to find a Navigator that is near them.
After, you know, I know I could get affordable insurance
it feels great. Now I can, you know, any time I'm sick then
I could go to the doctor and I don't have to worry about the
the massive amount I have to pay. I just know now the certain amount to pay and that's it!
