Insurance info session. Visit the Amherst Town Library on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. for an informational session about enrolling for health care in the new Health Insurance Marketplace. Just about everyone has questions about how the changes will affect them personally, whether they have health insurance, don't have health insurance, or are covered by Medicare. This educational session, led by an AARP Health Marketplace educator, will provide an overview of the Health Insurance Marketplace: who is eligible, how they enroll, tax credits, and options for those with limited incomes. Although the presenter Sarah Kelsea is connected to AARP, this program is not limited to seniors, but is open to all who need to learn the details of the new health insurance system.
