The Scarborough Public Library will offer a community program on the Affordable Care Act on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 6:30 pm.

Jake Grindle, a program specialist with Western Maine Community Action (WMCA) will present “Affordable Health Care Act 101: Understanding the New Health Care Law.” WMCA was selected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to serve as one of two Health Marketplace Navigators in Maine.

The Affordable Care Act will bring major changes to the health care system in the coming months. By the end of the year, there will be new requirements and options for affordable health coverage for many Mainers, including new rights, protections, and changes to current government health care programs.

Grindle will present the basics of the law and the newly available resources consumers should know about. Attendees will explore what the coming changes will mean for individuals, families and organizations.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information about the event, and additional programming at the Scarborough Public Library, visit the library’s website at www.scarboroughlibrary.org, or call 883-4723, ext. 4.
