(Career Progress) 4/8 AAUW Equal Pay Day UnHappy Hour

AAUW
On Tuesday, April 8, mark Equal Pay Day with a patio party outside AAUW’s national office.

Join us as we observe the symbolic day when women’s pay finally catches up to men’s from last year. 
(It takes a few extra months thanks to the 23 percent gender wage gap.)

We’ll have a secret salary garden to help shed some light on the salary process and a pep talk from AAUW Vice President of Government Relations Lisa Maatz. There will be a wallet-friendly cash bar (beer and wine) and munchies to enjoy while we gripe — and discuss how to change things.


RSVP today: http://bit.ly/EPDpatioparty

WATCH JIM’S ACA VLOG: http://www.networkforprogress.com/2014/03/16/aca331

(includes Transcript & More Info)

 

OR WATCH: Youtoons explain Affordable Care Act!

http://kff.org/health-reform/video/youtoons-obamacare-video

 

SUMMARY:

 

The latest word is that there will be an “honor system” extension until mid-April for folks who say they tried and couldn’t sign up by March 31st, but nonetheless, it’s time to get covered by the 2014 deadline or pay a 1% penalty on your income and a minimum of $95!

 

With the help of tax credits for individuals making up to about $50,000/year, a majority of the over 5 million Americans who signed up for private plans so far have a monthly premium cheaper than your phone bill so if you don’t have health insurance PLEASE SIGN UP so you don’t go broke if you get hurt or sick! Try the Enroll America Calculator to see how much you can save: http://gtcvrd.am/1chvUkq

 

And if you’re income is less than 133% of the U.S. poverty level (about $15,000 for a single person) you can qualify for Medicaid in DC, Maryland and any state that has not rejected the funds for it. (sorry, Virginia)

 

And remember that with the new Patient Protections under the law:

  • You are guaranteed that at least 80% of your premiums are being spent on health care

  • You can’t be denied health insurance because of pre-existing conditions

  • You can’t be dropped by your insurance company because you got sick

  • You can’t be stuck with lifetime limits on your coverage.

  • You don’t have to pay more because you are a woman.

  • And preventative care is free...so you don’t have to think twice about maintaining your health because you’re being nickle and dimed with more charges!

 

Spread the word & email network4progress@gmail.com to become a Host or tell us your story for us to share!
