Murrells Inlet Messenger The local newspaper for Murrells Inlet and Garden City Beach JANUARY VOL. 4 NO. 12 WWW.MURRELLSINLETMESSENGER.COM FREE Home Run The Movie: a story of redemption and hope at Grace Church By Tim Callahan Editor/Publisher Two days before pitching in the high school state championship, the 18-year-old had his first drinks at a graduation party. On paper, he could not lose the game. He was 5-0, had a 0.19 ERA and had already no-hit the team he was going to face, the first of back-toback no-hitters he threw that spring. He was also named the Vermont Legion pitcher of the year the past summer, beating out a guy who would go on to play six years in the major leagues. And, he had an incredible inner drive, with an inner mantra that rang in his head every time he walked out to the mound. “I’m going to win. I’m going to win. I’m going to win.” As he walked onto the field championship Saturday, he was shocked to hear what was automatically running through his mind: “I’m going to lose. I’m going to lose. I’m going to lose.” He lost the game and soon lost control of his drinking. Two years later, he was booted out of college for his drunken “pranks.” He gave up on baseball. There is not a day that goes by that that guy doesn’t regret throwing it all away. I was that guy. Thankfully, I found Alcoholics Anonymous while still young – 27 – but too late for baseball. I slowly rebuilt a life, through the grace of God and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, the church and Celebrate Recovery. I am now 56. However, no movie was made of my story because, well, I didn’t recover in time to salvage baseball and make it to the Big Show. But, maybe, just maybe, alcoholic Cory Brand can recover in time to save his major league career. You have to watch “Home Run The Movie” to find out. Scheduled to be shown free at Grace Church Waccamaw on Jan. 25 at 7 p.m., the movie is about the fictional Cory but includes Continued on page 11 Gullah exhibit and lecture series at Brookgreen Gardens in Litchfield The Brookgreen Gardens Creative Education Department has scheduled programs that will educate visitors and students about the influence of Gullah Geechee culture to the rice heritage of the Lowcountry community and America. “Sojun tu Gullah Geechee,” or “Sojourn to Gullah Geechee,” a traveling exhibit from the Geechee Kunda Center, Riceboro, Ga., will be housed in Learning Lab One of the Lowcountry Center Complex, from January 13 through March 16. The exhibit showcases the Gullah Geechee Rice Culture with storyboards, photographs, artifacts, tools, relics, and implements, and is free with garden admission from noon to 4:30 p.m. daily. “Rice production in Georgetown County and Extra!

Hopefully, it will leave viewers informed and inspired.” Daise also is former chairman of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission. The exhibit will be seen by third graders of Georgetown and Horry Counties, who visit during Brookgreen’s annual Gullah Gullah Days field trip event on February 3-7 and 10-14. Exhibit components include information about the language, spiritual life, enslavement, and resilience of Gullah Geechee people. “Viewers will leave with an understanding of the African presence in America and the growth and perpetuation of Africanisms in our country,” said Jim Bacote of the Geechee Kunda Center . “To me, the enslavement tools are the most meaningful artifacts. They’re a sobering reminder of Gullah Geechee people as a ‘stolen people.’ Our ancestors had community life, culture, arts, and religion before and after captivity for the enrichment of America. The exhibit documents our technological skills, ingenuity, and endurance.” Complementing the exhibit is “The Reign of Rice Lecture Series” on one Saturday per month from January to May. “The lecture series is designed to educate about the complexity of Gullah Geechee heritage through the production of rice,” Daise said. Guests will learn about freshwater tidal rice production in West Africa , rice-related food ways, as well the artistic, sociological and archeological ramifications of rice culture. Featured presenters and topics are: January 18: Edda Fields-Black , Ph.D., author, researcher, “The Work of Our Hands: Mangrove Rice Production in Coastal Guinea .” February 15: Jessica Harris, Ph.D., Queens College / CUNY, cookbook author and culinary historian, “ Carolina ‘s Gold: The Rice AND The People.” March 15, Louis Nelson , Ph.D., University of Virginia , “ Carolina Gold.” For more information, consult its web site at www.brookgreen.org or call 843-235-6000.) 2/Murrells Inlet Messenger/January 2014 Guest column: the night when the lights went out By Heather McKeown Well, it ain’t over till the fat lady sings. Where’s a large, musical diva when you really need one? Not in Vermont, after the ice storm of ought thirteen, that’s for sure. The electricity is what I want to talk about in this story. Or, in many cases, the lack of it. A lot of the state was shorted out, off the grid, out of light and heat, stoves and, ironically, fridges were on the fritz. Christmas celebrations were postponed or totally missed. Full flights into Burlington were canceled and the planes coming in when the atmosphere improved couldn’t very well ask passengers to double up and share one seat per couple to make up for the cancellations. So, tons of people couldn’t get home at all. No matter where you were - be it on the phone or Facebook or digging out your driveway, you heard how horrible it was to have such a catastrophic weather occurrence before the yuletide. Yet, more than complaining, I heard laughter, offers of help, people inviting those without power into their homes for showers, food or shelter and gratitude. As for myself, I hadn’t been breaking ice with a garden pick for more than half an hour before Jim Burns ran his garbage truck over that ice wall that was separating my car from the road. I hadn’t been shoveling for more than half an hour before a local farm lad passed by, backed up and moved every ton of snow and ice from my driveway to the side of the yard. During that hour of exertion, Jason Combs and his brother- Murrells Inlet Messenger in-law showed up with chainsaws and chopped up what two huge maple trees had let fall. The local newspaper for Murrells Inlet and Garden City Beach Those two young fathers worked for about six hours without a break and, when it got too dark to continue, Jason came in and apologized for Editor/Publisher: going home before every twig was cleared.

Your independent beauty consultant: Deborah Ann Callahan 843-344-3198 [email protected] January 2014/Murrells Inlet Messenger/3 Editorial/Opinion: maybe next year we will be Christmas central again until we got onto 95. The minute we got on the interstate it turned into a stop and go lucky to go 25 mph parking lot. Now, in addition to the GPS guidance system, our car has been retrofitted with a passenger side glove compartment pseudo brake, a passenger side air steering wheel and a passenger side car sign language guidance system as well as a passenger side voice guidance system. I knew we were stopping for the night in Saint Augustine Fla., which was right off 95, but I wanted to use the guidance system to tell me the mileage and projected arrival time going 25 mph so as we were going stop and go I began to fiddle with the phone mapping system and the car guidance system. This activated the passenger side guidance system and Joan started slamming on the glove compartment brake and making complex hand gestures designed to ward off any possible collision caused by my lack of attention to traffic while making vain attempts to activate the guidance systems that had all of a sudden become indecipherable to me. She also began giving me invaluable advice like: “fooling around with that stuff isn’t going to get us there any faster.” Word to the wise woman, try to avoid treating a grown man like a child especially when he is acting like one. Joan intuitively sensed this and before I rear ended someone while trying to get my phone to tell me when we would arrive at our destination, if we stayed parked on the Georgia, South Carolina border, she snatched the phone from my hand with the speed of a Ninja and put in the pocket on the door on her side of the car. This was all done with good humor but by our first stop for gas Joan took over the driving and got us through the stop and go that lasted all the way to St. Augustine. Once we got into the motel, we took off to historic Old St. Augustine and a Bar-B-Q place I had looked up on the Internet. I was driving Continued on page 10 R. Scott Eddy D.M.D. Specializing in Root Canal Therapy M u In rrel let s By Joe Scanlon Happy 2014 to everyone. It’s a new year and another chance to make and keep, or not, resolutions about the coming year. I am resolving to figure out how to grow old gracefully. I have confronted many challenges in my life but becoming a senior citizen, when I am still 30-years old to myself, is one of the toughest. Joan and I, as parents, have always been Christmas central, but with our children grown, with children of their own, there are so many different agendas, this year we found ourselves with just the two of us for the holiday. So, with all of the solemnity this sea change deserved we decided that this could only mean one thing: “Road Trip.” We booked a room in an inn right in the middle of Old Town Key West for the week of Christmas, hopped in our car and took off on our big adventure. First, I had to get the technology in order. Our car has a navigation and guidance system and my phone has a map and guidance system. Before leaving, I thoroughly familiarized myself with both of them so, as captain of the ship, I would be prepared to navigate the perils of an 800-mile trip to the southernmost tip of the United States. I knew how to get to I-95 via Hwy. 17 to Beaufort, so I didn’t bother with navigation Conveniently located in Mingo at Litchfield Litchfield Golf and Country Club 17 Atlantic Ocean 843-235-9780 Emergencies seen the same day 512651 4/Murrells Inlet Messenger/January 2014 Professional Rehabilitation Services celebrates its 10 year anniversary By Dr. Brian P. Kinmartin PT, DPT, MTC, SCT, OCS, CWcHP Advertorial In January 2004, founder of Professional Rehabilitation Services Brian P. Kinmartin, PT, DPT, MTC, STC, OCS CWcHP, set out on a mission to improve the access and service level of outpatient physical therapy services throughout Georgetown and Horry counties. Professional Rehabilitation Service’s original office is located in Pawley’s Island, and over the last 10 years has grown to include two additional business partners and practicing therapists, Richard A. Owens, MPT, OCS, Cert. SMT, CWcHP, and Richard A. Defalco, DPT, OCS, CSCS, CWcHP, as well as three additional offices in Murrells Inlet, Surfside Beach and Myrtle Beach. All of our offices are privately owned and operated by physical therapists. We are the highest trained practitioners in the area, with specialty certifications in manual therapy, vestibular therapy, orthopedics, sports medicine, and workers compensation. We provide work related assessments including functional capacity evaluations, and perform state of the art treatments including dry needling for pain and soft tissue dysfunction. We are committed to providing a holistic approach to treatment to our patients in order to promote health and wellness in an atmosphere that strives for excellence, integrity, and quality of service. We strive to offer a patient experience like no other, from the moment you are greeted by our front office, to the point you reach your goals and are discharged by the physical therapist. Our goal is to assist our patients in reliev- ing pain, promoting strength and movement, and returning our patients to their maximum level of physical function. We pride ourselves on getting results, even for the most difficult problems. When you visit PRS you will quickly recognize the quality of care and expertise that GETS RESULTS. Our philosophy of individualized and personal care allows us to provide the highest quality of service to all of our patients. It is not enough simply to provide physical therapy services. We believe the best physical therapists are the ones who are driven to continually improve their knowledge and skills. The Professional Rehabilitation Services difference includes that all physical therapy examinations and treatments are provided by licensed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants. No aides or technicians are involved in patient care at all. Our therapists have extensive education, clinical training and experience beyond that of most others. They have specialty credentials and practice with the latest evidence-based standards of care. The focus on specialization within our practice mission is highly unique to the practice of physical therapy. In a changing heath care environment where most companies are cutting back on the continuing education resources of their practitioners, we are not. Our company continues to believe that investing in the education of the staff and practitioners continues to improve the service level, clinical outcomes and patient experience. The physical therapists at each one of our locations are BOARD CERTIFIED in orthopedics, a credential that is achieved by less than ten percent of physical therapists nationwide, and less than five percent in the state of South Carolina. So, whether you suffer from new or old pain, have pre-operative or post-operative needs, or just have an injury from head to toe, from all ages and activity levels, you can rest assured that PRS will treat you with the care and expertise you deserve. Our therapists also have specialty training and credentials in manual therapy, sports therapy, strength and conditioning, vestibular therapy, and dry needling. In an age where insurance dollars per person are becoming less and less it is important that you seek the most highly credentialed, highly trained health care professionals possible, so that you get the best possible care and attain the best possible outcome. That is what we do at Professional Rehabilitation Services, and that is why we continue to grow. Federal law mandates that individuals have the right to choose their physical therapy provider. Having the option to choose your provider allows the consumer to play an active role in seeking out the best providers of care and treatment in your geographic region. At PRS, we encourage patients to visit one of our locations and meet the Physical Therapist who will be directing your care. You will be able to gauge what your treatment plan will entail, as well as establish a relationship with the facility and therapist. We offer a free 15-minute consultation that will address any questions you may have. You can then proceed with confidence that you selected the Advertorial continued on page 11 Call for a FREE 15 minute consultation The Outpatient Physical Therapy Specialists ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS Celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary New Location Murrells Inlet Located within the SC Pain & Spine Specialists building across from Thomas Supply.

Jan. 15 ~ Karen White (“Return to Tradd Street”) at Pawleys Plantation. Facing her future as a single mother, psychic realtor Melanie Middleton is determined to be strong and leave her past with writer Jack Trenholm behind her. But history has a tendency of catching up with Melanie, whether she likes it or not. She is only going through the motions of living since refusing Jack’s marriage proposal. Despite an insistence that she can raise their child alone, Melanie is completely unprepared for motherhood, and she struggles to complete renovations on her house on Tradd Street before the baby arrives. Jan. 17 ~ Paul Grimshaw (“Travelers of the Gray Dawn”) at Carefree Catering. What if the South had won the American Civil War? What might America, and even the rest of the world, look like if this nation-splitting war between the states had ended differently? In this action-adventure, time-travel, alternative history thriller, you’ll see what might have been had the South been successful. When three modern-day Civil War re-enactors accidentally travel through time and space, a cascade of events transpires so that 2013 does not resemble the 2013 that they, and the reader, know. Freelance journalist Paul Grimshaw has written a captivating, compelling story filled with likable characters, intriguing plot twists, and a re-envisioning of a world that might have been. Jan. 24 ~ James Lowell Underwood (“Deadly Censorship: Murder, Honor and Freedom of the Press”) at Pine Lakes Country Club. on Jan.15, 1903, South Carolina Lieutenant Governor James H. Tillman shot and killed Narciso G. Gonzales, editor of South Carolina’s most powerful newspaper, The State. Blaming Gonzales’s stinging editorials for his loss in the 1902 gubernatorial race, Tillman shot Gonzales to avenge the defeat and redeem his “honor,” and his reputation as a man who took bold, masculine action in the face of an insult. Underwood investigates the epic murder trial of Tillman to test whether biting editorials were a legitimate exercise of freedom of the press or an abuse that justified killing when camouflaged as self-defense. A specialist on constitutional law, Underwood has written the definitive examination of the court proceedings, the state’s complicated homicide laws, and the violent cult of personal honor that had undergirded South Carolina society since the colonial era. Jan. 31 ~ Tommy Hays (“What I Came To Tell You”) at Caffe Piccolo. Since his mother died earlier this year, Grover Johnston (named after a character in Thomas Wolfe’s “Look Homeward Angel” has watched his family fall to pieces as his father throws himself into his work rather than dealing with the pain. Left to care for his younger sister, Sudie, Grover finds solace in creating intricate weavings out of the natural materials found in the bamboo forest behind his North Carolina home, a pursuit that his father sees only as a waste of time. An Okra Pick of the Season, Hays’ new novel is for readers ages 9 to 90. Right to Life Rally in Washington, D.C. St. Michael’s Right to Life Committee will sponsor a bus to the Washington, D.C.

As her stepmother, the only mother she knew, slowly slips away from them into the grasp of Alzheimer’s disease, author Jeanette Larson began writing a tribute to her mother that would eventually be read at the funeral. The tribute turned into more and more memories and soon Larson had the content of a book. “Love at First Sight” is basically a memoir, a loving tribute to their stepmother who came as an angel to care for her and her siblings when they needed her the most. In this memoir, instead of focusing on their mother’s harsh discipline and the problems resulting from dad drinking too much, Larson decided to highlight the overflowing love and genuine care their stepmother gave her and her siblings; the very gestures that influenced and shaped their lives.

Admitting your life is unmanageable is another part of the first step in the recovery process. Scripture validates the first step when it states, “I know that nothing good lives in me, that is in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good but I cannot carry it out.” (Romans 7:18) You have proven time and time again that under your own power you cannot keep your resolution. Please consider trying the next 11 steps and understand they are biblical. The next step – Step 2 – in recovery from hurts, hang-ups and habits is coming to believe a power greater than yourself can restore you to sanity. “For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” (Phil. 2:13) Seeing as you cannot do this on your own, you can make a decision to turn your live and will over to the care of God, who does have the power to help you change. That is Step 3. The corresponding Scripture is: “Therefore I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your act of spiritual worship. The summary of Steps 1-3 is: “I can’t; God can.” To continue to meet your resolution, it is suggested to do the remaining steps – in order. Without going through them in their entirety, they came be summed up as: listing your wrongs (Lam. 3:40), telling God and another person those wrongs (James 5:16), humbly asking God to remove these defects of character [sins] (1 Jn. 1:9), making a list of those you have wronged and making amends to them all (Luke 6:31, Matt. 5:23-24), continuing to take a daily inventory and when you are wrong admit it (1Cor. 10:12), seeking through prayer and meditation to improve your relationship with God, to know His will, and have the power to carry it out (Col. 3:16), and carrying this message to fellow sufferers/addicts (Gal. 6:1, Matt. 28:16). Seems like a lot to do, doesn’t it? Well, I guess it is. But, let me ask you, how long have your been in your addiction? Doesn’t working the steps and attending a support group once or twice a week, pale in comparison to the hundreds or thousands of hours you have spent in your addiction? Resolutions are easy to make, but almost impossible to meet. True for human willpower, but “nothing is impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37) What do you have to lose? Give Him and the Steps a try.

I’m Heather. What’s your name?” “Norm DeLorme.” “Oh, your mom lives around the corner. Where are you off to on this Christmas morning? I hope I haven’t made you late.” “Church.” Passing me my shovel, he pointed to the way it had bent while smashing thick ice. “If you take a hammer to it, you can straighten it out.” And he was gone. Bless his heart. All the people above saved Christmas for me. Each and every last one of them. I’m really grateful, but there’s an entire fleet of men and women who missed their Christmastime to help thousand of us. They’re still on the roads, day and night. They are the linemen of Vermont Electric Coop. I met one such marathon man in Dick Wright’s Ford, as my weathered van was getting fixed on the day after my wonderful Christmas. He was a fellow much younger than I. A bit of gray flecked his beard and hairline. He wore black rimmed glasses. His voice was gruff and raspy. Somehow, I started hearing little tidbits as he spoke to another customer in the waiting area. He obviously had a horrible cold. “Had to go to the doctor. It’s a cold. I worked five days, night and day. My own car’s pump broke and I couldn’t wash my windshield so, every time a car went by, they’d send a spray of slush up onto my car. I had to get to work though.” “What do you do?” “I’m a lineman.” “For Vermont Electric?” He nodded. “I went to my relative’s house to borrow his car, but they hadn’t started it to warm it up. It was parked on the shady side of their house so, when I cracked the ice on the windshield, it just came off in huge sheets. Just as cold as my car because I kept the windows open all the way to work so I could see out. I’ve had to go to the doctor.” He finished and I could tell he was sick. Probably burning up with a fever, but just had to take the time to get his car fixed. Poor guy... so, so sick. “You worked right through your Christmas, didn’t you?” He nodded slowly. “I had to work for five days straight.” “Have you get slept?” “Not really. Not much.” His eyes filled with tears. The man was in the extreme far end of fatigue. There are many good people helping those in need around here, but those linemen, they’re not getting any breaks at all. If you see one on them in the north or the south, take him or her a cup of Joe and some cookies or a big, juicy sandwich. For their dessert, give ‘em a hug. Boy, do they ever deserve it. All in all, when I think back on Christmas 2013, I’ll picture all the people just pitching in to get neighbors and strangers back to rights. Another thing that won’t escape my memory is the face of that totally worn out, humble lineman. What’s January 2014/Murrells Inlet Messenger/9 Christmas spirit supposed to be, anyway, if it’s not an opportunity to show kindness, share hope and, thanks to the linemen, to keep the light on for you?

It was dark, I was unfamiliar with the territory and, at one point, made a course correction which accidently resulted in my cutting of a gentleman on a motorcycle. Although we were traveling about 15 mph at the time, the gentleman on the motorcycle took exception to being cut off and expressed his feelings in an unfortunate tirade of profanity, comments about my parentage and intelligence and suggestions about some unpleasant things I should do to myself. Being the consolatory gentleman I am, I rolled down the window and shouted, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you.” I had stopped about 300 feet from the stop light when I realized I had cut him off so his reply was, “pull up to the light you (expletive deleted) moron. At this point, my passenger seat guidance system kicked in and said: “do what he says, do what he says!” Another word to the wise woman, in a situation where an idiot and a potential idiot are having a confrontation, advising the potential idiot to submit to the idiot is more likely to incite the potential idiot to become a total idiot. Better to use reverse psychology and suggest the potential idiot get out and teach idiot number one a lesson. This would give the potential idiot a chance to weigh the consequences of a confrontation and result in a peaceful resolution. I chose the middle path of a semi-idiot and stopped long enough to display defiance but not long enough to incite further idiocy. With that situation diffused, we went another ½ mile in 45 minutes and in a fit of desperation I pulled into a German restaurant and Joan and I were treated to one of the best meals we can remember. The remainder of the trip to Key West was memorable for the beauty of the scenery, driving on the highway connecting the Keys and the ambiance of Key West. We ate, one night, at Jimmy Buffett’s Margueritaville restaurant and interestingly enough when our waiter asked us where we were from he told us he was married on the south end of Pawley’s Island and his wedding cake came from Pawley’s Island Bakery, my favorite local bakery. We didn’t see many parrot heads in Key West. I think they must have wasted all the way away in Margueritaville, and been replaced by people with heavy New York and New Jersey accents who were about as tolerant of other drivers as the Saint Augustine motorcycle gentleman. Joan and I have our own businesses and breaks are rare so our senior citizens bodies took precedence over the 30-year-old brains and we sat around the pool, did a little sightseeing, ate a lot of really great food, and took part in the spectacular sunset celebration in Mallory Square. All in all it was a wonderful trip with my favorite person aka passenger seat guidance system. I had the electronics squared away by the return trip so the phone and car both knew the way home. This time we let our 30-year-old brains tell us to make it home in one go and by 9 p.m. that evening and 806 miles later we arrived. The next morning I went to Pawley’s Island Bakery, our weekend breakfast treat, and told the owner the story about the waiter and the wedding cake. He asked me how our trip was and I told him we went to the beach, ate great food, lay about and encountered some rude drivers. He is from Connecticut. He said he did exactly the same thing minus the rude drivers, and never left home. We had a wonderful time and it gave Joan and me stories and a lot to laugh about, but maybe next year we will go back to being Christmas Central. There is no place like home. Have a happy, peaceful and productive new year.

Warren is the author of one of the best selling books of alltime, “The Purpose Driven Life.” I have been a member of CR at Beach Church in Myrtle Beach, S.C., for six years, and used to co-lead CR at Grace Church Waccamaw in Litchfield, S.C., with my wife, Debbie. I have seen A.A. and CR change hundreds of lives and bring hope and healing to the hurting. According to CR’s Web site, 700,000 people at more than 17,000 churches worldwide have used the CR program. The movie promotes an open message of hope and healing; hope that was hidden in the basement rooms of churches at Alcoholic Anonymous meetings when I was younger; hidden because society back then looked down upon anyone “weak-willed” enough not to stop drinking, drugging, sleeping around, gambling, overeating, etc., on their own. What I would have given if someone had brought me this message when I was a teenager. If it was in movie form, it might even have gotten through my thick skull. Heck, the movie would have been about me.

But when a DUI in his old hometown benches him, Cory is forced to take a hard look at his life. Sentenced to coaching the town’s little league team and attending a local 12-step recovery program, Cory must face the pain he tried to ignore and the girl he wanted to forget. Of course, the superstar doesn’t want — or need — anyone’s help. He simply goes through the motions, manipulating the small community and the team that has begun to rely on him. But just when he thinks he can coast through his sentence and get back to the big leagues, Cory discovers a secret that shakes him to the core. Suddenly, Cory realizes he’s not the one in control … and this revelation changes his life forever.” (A version of this story appeared in an earlier edition of the Murrells Inlet Messenger) Have an event for the calendar?

The new Health Insurance Marketplace helps uninsured people find health coverage. When you fill out the Marketplace application we’ll tell you if you qualify for: •Private health insurance plans. We’ll tell you whether you qualify for lower costs based on your household size and income. Plans cover essential health benefits, pre-existing conditions, and preventive care. If you don’t qualify for lower costs, you can still use the Marketplace to buy insurance at the standard price. •Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). These programs provide coverage to millions of families with limited income. If it looks like you qualify, we’ll share information with your state agency and they’ll contact you. Many, but not all, states are expanding Medicaid in 2014 to cover more people. No matter what state you live in, you can use the Marketplace. Some states operate their own Marketplace. In some states, the Marketplace is run by the Federal government. Find the Health Insurance Marketplace in your state. Most people must have health coverage in 2014 or pay a fee. If you don’t have coverage in 2014, you’ll have to pay a penalty of $95 per adult, $47.50 per child, or 1% of your income (whichever is higher). The fee increases every year. Some people may qualify for an exemption to this fee. If you enroll by March 31, 2014, you won’t have to pay the fee for any month before your coverage began. You’re considered covered if you have Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, any job-based plan, any plan you bought yourself, COBRA, retiree coverage, TRICARE, VA health coverage, or some other kinds of health coverage. If you’re eligible for job-based insurance, you can consider switching to a Marketplace plan. But you won’t qualify for lower costs based on your income unless the job-based insurance is unaffordable or doesn’t meet minimum requirements. You also may lose any contribution your employer makes to your premiums. If you have Medicare, you’re considered covered and don’t have to make any changes. You can’t use the Marketplace to buy a supplemental or dental plan. Marketplace open enrollment ends March 31, 2014. If you enroll by December 23, 2013, coverage can begin as soon as Jan. 1, 2014. Questions? Call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325). Ready to apply? Learn the four ways you can apply for coverage. Many health insurers have decided to give you more time to pay your first month’s premium, extending the deadline until Jan. 10, 2014. Not all issuers are extending the payment deadline.
