HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii's health insurance marketplace has awarded grants to 34 community organizations to help uninsured people learn about insurance options under President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
The grants announced Monday total $6.7 million. They will go to groups on all the islands, including the Lanai Community Health Center, the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii and the Hawaii Island HIV/AIDS Foundation.
The funds will be used to hire 191 assisters to directly talk with people about coverage options available in the marketplace, which begins open enrollment in October.
