Health insurance in this country--and the lack thereof--is a heated topic of conversation on a good day. During the current global health crisis, the need for universal healthcare has become abundantly clear. In this 90-minute workshop, Renata Marinaro, the National Director of Health Services for the Actor’s Fund, will provide important information relevant to freelancers and the self-employed and give you clear, step-by-step guidance on what all your insurance options are right now.

If you’re uninsured, find out if you’re eligible for free insurance, the $20/month plan, or subsidized coverage. If you’re insured, learn how to estimate your income in the post-COVID19 economy so you can (hopefully) lower your premiums. Learn how to cut through insurance propaganda and consumer myths and find a plan that’s right for you. While the majority of information will focus on the New York and California health care systems, Renata is knowledgeable about nationwide options. This is an excellent opportunity for unbiased information and guidance.
