Dear Folks,
I wanted to follow up on our Senior Team discussion on ways in which HUD can support the White House/HHS push for education around enrollment of uninsured individuals in health insurance exchanges and expanded Medicaid programs.

The Secretary is committed to engaging as intensively as we can on this initiative. Members of your staff have worked with our office over the last couple of weeks to generate a llst of possible areas in which HUD can engage -- Please review the attached PowerPoint and let me know by noon tomorrow any comments questions that you have about the proposed areas of engagement (Carol, we noted your suggestion about activating an OFA or Americorps-like volunteer base around enrollment, as well as lessons from EITC Sites, and will relay that to the WH.} Thanks much, Lo pa

Affordable Care Act Rollout


Outreach, Education and Enrollment

The Affordable Care Act


On March 23rd, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law. Key Provisions include:
Individual Mandate - State-level Health Insurance Exchanges

On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court upheld the Act, but allowed states to opt out of a provision requiring the expansion of Medicaid to serve individuals under 65 with income below 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
In states that do expand their Medicaid programs, it will represent the first time in which low-income adults without children will be guaranteed coverage without the need for a waiver.

Potential Impact for HUD Programs and Residents


Insurance enrollment status of HUD residents is not known The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) reports that HUD has the potential to save $100 million in rental subsidy costs when elderly and disabled HUD residents enroll in insurance programs like the Medicare Savings Program (MSP)
MSP reduces out-of-pocket costs for Medicare insurance premiums, deductibles, and copayments.

CBPP reports that approximately 700,000 assisted households claimed $1.4 billion in such expenses in 2010
- This increased HUD rental subsidy costs by more than $400 million that year.

Geographic and
Demographic Targeting
Top 10 states:
- Texas, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio & Michigan

Top 8 cities:
- Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix/Tucson MSA, Philadelphia & Washington, DC

Priority demographic is "young and healthy"


- "Sick and worried" will require less intensive outreach - "Passive and unengaged" will be more difficult to reach

ACA Rollout Phases


Phase 1: Outreach and Education (January-June)
- Agencies conduct outreach to uninsured individuals, specifically the "young and healthy" - Provide high level me. ssaging/education on health insurance literacy and the value of insurance
Use of social media, online communication, cell phones

- On January 16th, CMS re-launched its healthcare.gov site as consumer-facing site


Will help individuals learn about insurance and begin to understand their options.

ACA Rollout Phases


Phase 2: Training of Application Assisters (starts in June)
- Healthcare.gov will re-launch as the place for enrollment - Navigators (30-40 hour training) and ~ertified Application Assisters (4-5 hour training) will train to be able to enroll others - Call Center will launch for people to get more info (24 hours/day; 150 languages) - Outreach and education continues
