Every Artist Insured Tour Comes to KC

AHIRC’s EVERY ARTIST INSURED Tour 2010-11

Visual and performing artists and entertainment professionals:

Healthcare seminar at the Kansas City Public Library (Plaza Branch), on November 20, at 4 pm and November 22, at 6 pm.

Charlotte Street Foundation and the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City are the local hosts. The seminar will address how our nation’s artists can benefit from recent health care reform and will mark the first stop on AHIRC’s EVERY ARTIST INSURED Tour.

Two booklets will be available free of charge at the seminar. Both are targeted to help artists understand and access healthcare. “How to Get Affordable Healthcare in Kansas City” outlines options for affordable health care and health insurance for local artists. “Every Artist Insured: Understanding Health Care Reform” is a guide to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, otherwise known as the health care reform law. These guides also available for free download at actorsfund.org.

The Actors Fund’s Artists Health Insurance Resource Center (AHIRC) is proud to announce AHIRC’s EVERY ARTIST INSURED Tour 2010-11. In the coming months, The Fund’s AHIRC team of health insurance experts, through partnerships with local arts organizations, will reach out to performing arts and entertainment professionals, as well as visual artists, across the country, with seminars and workshops to help explain how health care reform offers new and affordable options for coverage.

Since its inception in 1998, The Fund’s Artists Health Insurance Resource Center (AHIRC) has had one goal: to have every artist in this country insured. With the passage of the health care reform bill, we are closer than ever to realizing this goal! So check out the list of cities below, attend a workshop or forward to a friend!
