ABC 7 Interviews L.A Care’s Mildred DeJesus on Helpful Tips for Open Enrollment

ABC 7 Eyewitness News invited Mildred DeJesus, L.A. Care's Manager of Enrollment Support Services to talk about health care coverage and the current open enrollment period.

On the show, she addressed President Trump's subsidy cuts and the confusion about its impact, stressing that L.A. Care and Covered California are still offering affordable premiums to consumers.


 

It's important for viewers to know that there are two subsidies. There are the subsidies that are provided to the health plans, and then there are the subsidies that are provided to the people. What is going away are the subsidies to the health plans, and the fact that that's going away will have no impact on the premiums offered to the people.

So the subsidies — the assistance — in the premiums will be there for everyone, for the consumers.
