Seedco will host “Maryland Health Connection Day” at local CVS pharmacies on Saturday, November 16th from 2:00 – 6:00 PM, providing uninsured residents the opportunity to learn more about their health coverage options available under the federal Affordable Care Act.
The event is part of a statewide outreach and education effort to provide information about quality health plans provided through Maryland Health Connection, the state-based health insurance marketplace operated by the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange.

Authorized representatives of Seedco will be on hand at the following designated CVS locations, beginning at 2:00 PM to answer questions and provide information that will assist residents in enrolling online at MarylandHealthConnection.gov, or in person.

Go ahead and look up Seedco…their stated purpose is to make sure people are aware of the “free” stuff that they qualify for from the government – you know that “free” stuff that you’re actually paying for in your taxes. Hey Seedco when you explain to people the benefits of Obamacare make sure they get thier free phone too.
