Health Reform for Front Line

Workers

The North Urban Human Service Alliance is sponsoring a

training for front line workers and others interested in helping people without

health insurance use the new Washington Insurance Exchange. The event will be

Thursday, November 19th, Shoreline City Hall Council Chambers, from 8:30

to 10:00 AM

A representative from Public Health Seattle & King

County will provide an overview of how the health insurance exchange works,

where to enroll and where those who need help can find personalized assistance.

Participants will also learn how the Medicaid expansion program will work to

provide health insurance coverage. There will be time for questions and answers

so bring your concerns.

According to the American Community Survey estimates, there

are more than 12,000 adults between the ages of 19 and 64 in North King County

without health insurance. Medical bills are a major stressor for many families

and a leading cause of personal bankruptcy.

The North Urban Human Service Alliance is composed of

representatives of local cities, King County government, United Way, faith

communities, non-profit organizations and others interested in building the

community’s capacity to respond to human service needs in North King County.
