MDWise to Host Affordable Care Act Information Session at the Salem Public Library
SALEM, Ind. — December 3, 2013 — If you have questions about the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) and the options they may have for insurance beginning in 2014, then plan to attend one of three information sessions at the Salem Public Library over the next few weeks.
Licensed Indiana Navigators will be available to do on-site screenings to see if a potential applicant may qualify for Medicaid first, then will assess them for the Health Insurance Marketplace plans and help guide them through their available options. **Licensed Indiana Navigators have the responsibility of remaining neutral when advising people about their options; they will present all of the available options to the individual, then leave it to the person to make their own choice about which insurance carrier and plan they wish to choose, if any.
Representatives from MDWise will be there to assist with specific questions about their plans which are being offered in Washington County and surrounding counties where people may see specialists or other providers.
Sessions are:
Monday, November 25th 3p-6p
Friday, December 6th 11a-1p
Wednesday, December 11th 4p-7p

Washington County Sheriff’s Department raise over $2100 for American Cancer Society
Washington County Sheriff Claude Combs is very proud of his deputies this morning.
Not just for doing their jobs everyday but for going the extra mile during NO SHAVE NOVEMBER to let their beards grow and raise money for the American Cancer Society.
“I’m real proud of these guys,” he said. “But all joking aside, they shave their beards today. I want my guys clean shaven and looking respectable.”
Combs said the men would not shave during the month of November and let beards, moustaches and goatees grow. And grow they did.
Combs joked with a few of them, saying they would make good “beach bums.”
The deputies were hoping to raise $1,000 which was Combs’ goal.
The final total was over $2,100 with Randy Lee, raising the most — $800 and winning a new Wahl Cordless Trimmer, a $70 value from WSLM.
Six of the 19 deputies participating raised more than $100.

No Shave November resulted in some No Shave Deputies at the Washington County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff Claude Combs jokes with deputies about making sure they come in Tuesday with a clean face.
Because some of the men are “hairier” than others, Combs said they were going to forgo traditional rules of seeing who has the best or biggest beard. Instead the contest was judged on who had the most donations.
On the No Shave November site, they say the goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free.
Combs and Deputy Sheriff Roger Newlon opted not to grow a beard, but donated instead.
