GetCoveredNYC Promotes Health Insurance Literacy

October is Health Literacy Month. The Health Resources & Services Administration defines Health Literacy as “the degree to which people have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others.” Health insurance literacy plays a huge role in how much individuals are empowered to make healthy choices and access health care.
