PND Connections - Artists' Health Insurance Resource Center
Because many artists don't receive health insurance through their employer or qualify for needs-based insurance, they frequently fall between the health coverage cracks. In response to this crisis, the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the New York City-based Actors' Fund of America has established the Artists' Health Insurance Resource Center to assist the arts community nationwide in accessing information about health-insurance options. The information, which is organized by state, is provided through a Web site and a new toll-free hotline. In addition to NEA support, AHIRC is funded by the Commonwealth Fund, the New York State Department of Health, the United Hospital Fund, the Motion Pictures Players Welfare Fund, the Dayton Hudson Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Jane Marcher Charitable Foundation, and the Edith Meiser Foundation.
