At United Way, we believe everyone deserves access to quality health care, regardless of cost. That’s why we offer the HealthConnect Premium Assistance Program, designed to help you afford health insurance. Thanks to the generous support of UW Health and Quartz, HealthConnect covers the remaining balance of eligible participants’ monthly health insurance premiums after the Premium Tax Credit is applied through the Marketplace healthcare.gov.
