Health insurance fair draws thousands to downtown Dallas
Downtown Dallas was the final stop for the Be Covered Texas information forum, sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas.
Earlier this month, the campaign traveled to Houston, drawing about 4,600 people. Attendance in Dallas was more than twice that. Even before the fair ended, the turnout was estimated at nearly 10,000.
Free flu shots and screenings for diabetes, cholesterol and dental care were also available Saturday, though those services weren’t connected to insurance enrollment.
People got help navigating the Affordable Care Act’s online marketplace, healthcare .gov, and learned about their insurance options.
