ISU Extension and Outreach is providing a program called “Smart Choice” to help consumers understand health insurance concepts and terms, evaluate their own health insurance needs, examine insurance plans and select a plan that fits their needs and budget.  Mary Beth Kaufman, family finance program specialist stresses that the “Smart Choice workshops will not be an avenue for enrolling consumers in health insurance or for providing one-on-one advice about health insurance….” instead, by attending the meeting, consumers will be better able to understand and make sound choices.  Kaufman will teach the Smart Choice class in Harlan on Monday December 2 at the Shelby County Extension office at 906 6^th Street from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

Pre-registration is encouraged for the Smart Choice workshop which is free to you thanks to the Shelby County Extension District and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.  Consumers are encouraged to pre-register by calling the Shelby County Extension office by November 27 at 712-755-3014.
