More than 100,000 people living in the 8th District of Virginia go without adequate health insurance, according to a statement from the congressman’s office.

Health care experts will be available to discuss the new range of healthcare options that are becoming available Oct. 1, with policies going into effect Jan 1. 

“For the uninsured, the self-employed, small business employees, or those currently purchasing plans on the individual market, it is particularly important to learn how the exchange works and what insurance choices will be made available,” said the statement.
