[ASK the provider] Low or no health insurance? You still deserve healthcare!

May 23, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm CDT

Ask PACTNOW

Join FORGE and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inclusion Health Clinic for an opportunity to ask questions and engage with professionals serving the trans/non-binary community.

Topic: Low or no health insurance?  You still deserve healthcare!

We all deserve physical and mental health care.  This session will explore getting the care you need with or without insurance.  We’ll  discuss how to access affordable health insurance (possibly at no cost to you).  We’ll share where you can seek care without insurance, and how to navigate systems that often seem to prioritize payment over people.
