Enroll America is a collaborative organization, working with partners that span the gamut of health coverage stakeholders—health insurers, hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, employers, consumer groups, faith-based organizations, civic organizations, and philanthropies—to engage many different voices in support of an easy, accessible, and widely available enrollment process. This presentation will highlight the organization's breadth and depth of activities across the country to support the enrollment process in states and ways health educators can help avoid the potential for an “enrollment gap”.
