Representing the 27th District

(San Jose, CA) -- Assemblymember Nora Campos (D-San Jose) and leaders of Covered California are working hard to launch the Affordable Care Act—a historic expansion of affordable health coverage in California. Assemblymember Campos led a town hall meeting at the Mayfair Community Center as part of the ongoing effort to provide updates to stakeholders and solicit feedback on Covered California's efforts and plans. "Over five million Californians could benefit from coverage offered through Covered California and two million will be eligible for subsidies from the federal government," says Assemblymember Campos. "To ensure the success of this effort, we need the help of community leaders and stakeholders across the state." More town halls are planned in San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange County.
