“You could be eligible for government health insurance and not even know it. ‘Many don’t know there are programs like Healthy Families, for example, where a family of four can earn up to $60,000 and still qualify their children for comprehensive health care,’ said Philip Lebherz of The Foundation for Health Coverage Education (FHCE), a nonprofit organization. Studies indicate that nearly a third of an estimated 45 million uninsured Americans are eligible for government-sponsored health insurance programs and don’t know about them. U.S. residents in need of health insurance should contact the Uninsured Help Line at (800) 234-1317 for more information.” [editor’s note: Posting this, in a blog devoted to free-market solutions, may seem inappropriate; however, if all who “qualify” for assistance were using it (as a wellness-prevention mechanism), it could make things work better (and cheaper) for those who do not! - SAT] (04/14/07)
