Fifteen Million Americans are Eligible for Free or Low-cost Health Coverage But Have Not Signed Up Yet

You could be eligible for government health insurance and not even know it.

"Many don't know there are programs like Healthy Families, for example, where a family of four can earn up to $60,000 and still qualify their children for comprehensive  health care," said Philip Lebherz of The Foundation for Health Coverage Education (FHCE), a nonprofit organization that works to reduce the numbers of uninsured.

Studies indicate that as many as a third of an estimated 45 million uninsured Americans are eligible for government-sponsored health insurance programs and don't know about them. FHCE has a number of programs to help.
