Lessons from the First Four Months
Trusted and culturally appropriate messengers are essential
Eligible consumers need multiple touches, personal attention to enroll
Consumers not getting the message about affordability
Consumers will only get harder to find

How Will You Find Consumers?
We already have them
Fewer than 10% of all eligible consumers enroll after one touch. How will you find and follow?
Create a culture of coverage: What are the messages you share?
Go to neighborho od events

Time and resource intensive, but sometimes the only way
