Local man kills daughter, commits suicide Girl transported to Edward Hospital, died in surgery By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

By JonatHan samPLes | STAFF REPORTER The enrollment deadline to purchase health insurance through the Affordable Care Act has come and gone, but inmates in the DuPage County Jail are still signing up. With the help of eligibility specialists from Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center and Health Center, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office started a new program this year that helps inmates sign up for health insurance. “It’s been a great partnership,” said Lisa Zegar, healthcare administrator for the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office. “We’ve got now, probably, well over 300 hundred people enrolled in the program since January.” And, Zegar said specialists from Aunt Martha’s will continue to enroll inmates despite the March 31 deadline. That’s because incarceration is considered one of several “qualifying life events” that extends an individual’s enrollment period, meaning those inmates are still eligible for coverage in 2014.

“the rule is that if someone is incarcerated they have so much time after they get released to enroll,” said Lisa Zegar, healthcare administrator for the DuPage county sheriff’s office. “they really don’t fall under the deadline.”
