Health
Care Insurance Premiums
| Tina was a 37 year old married woman with two young girls when she received WWIN’s IP Assistance grant. She said, “I am 6 months pregnant and I lost my job in November. My pregnancy is considered high risk so I need extra care.” Tina’s insurance premiums were $444.41/month. To help pay for their most basic expenses, she and her husband had cashed in their IRA of $6,000 and taken out a home equity loan. Tina’s husband had been laid off from Boeing after 14 years and decided to go back to school. He was about to graduate from school to be a radiology technician but for the time being, they could barely make ends meet. Tina is now able to be a stay-at-home mom and her husband has gradated from school. |
WWIN's
Health Care Insurance Premium Program provides assistance
for the payment of monthly premiums for clients who
have health insurance. WWIN does not provide health
insurance, but rather pays monthly premiums for one
year on the client's behalf. In addition, the grant
covers co-pays for doctor visits and hospital stays.
The grant assists with coverage for the individual woman
only, and does not cover prescription drugs.
