The health care law aims to make health coverage more affordable and accessible for individuals and families. In North Carolina, some changes have already taken place. Others will be phased in from now through 2014. This year our state lawmakers will be making decisions that impact how North Carolina implements healthcare reform in our state. You can always visit the NC Department of Insurance website to learn more about health insurance in our state: www.ncdoi.com. Health Insurance SMART NC (www.ncdoi.com/smart) is a service to help you understand your health insurance options.
