The Affordable Care Act open enrollment for 2019 coverage continues through December 15th. K-State Research and Extension has three experts – known as Navigators – who are trained to help people better understand their health care options in the federal marketplace. During last year’s open enrollment period, Joy Miller, Susie Latta and Erin Petersilie helped approximately 200 people and identified tax credits that – when they were all added up – saved those Kansans roughly one million dollars over the course of 2018.

Sound Living is a weekly public affairs program addressing issues related to families and consumers. It is hosted by Jeff Wichman. Each episode shares the expertise of K-State specialists in fields such as child nutrition, food safety, adult development and aging, youth development, family resource management, physical fitness and more.
