Accessing Affordable Healthcare for Creatives
WEDNESDAY, September 18, 2024, 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Accessing Affordable Healthcare for Creatives
Affordable health care is something everyone should have access to. Recently the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act have increased and the income eligibility levels for those subsidies and medicaid have also increased. Many people do not have heath insurance because they believe they are not eligible for support and think it will be too expensive or they find the process of accessing it too cumbersome. This workshop will help you understand the process, learn more about your eligibility and show you resources to help you access the insurance you and your kids need and are entitled to. .
The program will be held on Zoom. You must register in advance.
