WHO WE ARE
ACA Consumer Advocacy is an Illinois-based health care advocacy group comprised of health care consumers and citizen advocates with the purpose of educating, motivating, and mobilizing healthcare consumers to actively participate in the process of improving our national healthcare system. We serve as experienced, trusted liaisons to policymakers, government agencies, health policy organizations and others in the healthcare system to promote and work towards achieving equitable, affordable, and comprehensive health care.
Why ACA Consumer AdvocacyWe ARE the ACA: ACA Consumer Advocacy is comprised of health care consumers who buy insurance on and off the exchange, with and without subsidies.
We are small business owners, health care providers, and those with pre-existing conditions. We believe in people to people policy making - consumers must be a part of the lawmaking process. Having trouble with your benefits?We may be able to help direct you to the resources you need.

A Special Enrollment Period for 2021 Health Insurance has begun. Help spread the word. This special enrollment period will run Feb 15 - August 15 in most states.
While the new administration is working to restore funding to get the word out about #SepcialEnrollment, the grassroots is needed more than ever to spread the word. During this special enrollment period, those without health insurance, those who have lost theirs due to unemployment, and those on the federal exchange who want to change their plan may do so. Go to healthcare.gov to get started. Click the image below for images to share on social media to help us #GetAmericaCovered.
