Affordable Care Act:

Part-time Workers and the Affordable Care Act

Consumer Reports recently published an article by Nancy Metcalf responding to the question "Will health reform help part-time workers get insurance?" Read a summary of her response.

From the field . . .

“I use many of the resources, and helped a family sign up last month. They desperately needed insurance and didn’t realize they qualified. Their son was not getting his medication because they couldn’t afford it. Having his medication has made a world of difference for him! I will have BadgerCare resources available at our parent teacher conferences also.”
