No Health Insurance? Worried About Medical Bills
Monday, August 11, 2008

You and your family may be eligible for help with medical bills for routine preventive health care, medications and unexpected medical costs, like emergency room and hospital care. The people that make up your family and the amount of your household income will determine what kind of coverage you may be eligible for. You can find out more about these different health care programs by calling a local Facilitated Enroller, a person who can help
you sort out your coverage needs and apply for the right program.
