Dallas County Judge Pushes Healthcare Enrollment Before Friday Deadline

DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – The Dallas County Judge is giving one final reminder for the uninsured to sign up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

Judge Clay Jenkins says if people are interested, don’t let uncertainty on Obamacare’s future prevent signing up.

“Don’t let anyone stop you from getting the health coverage that your family and you so desperately need,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins says under the law, uninsured in Dallas County has fallen from 1 in 4 people to 1 in 5.

“That’s still way too many because when you’re uninsured you don’t have that primary care physician where you can get those physicals and discover problems before they become severe,” Jenkins said.

The deadline to enroll is Friday.
