NY Health Fair Seminar - Every Artist Insured

This seminar is presented as part of the NY Health Care Safety Net Committee’s Health Fair. 

Confused about health insurance? This seminar will help you understand the Affordable Care Act and give you clear, step-by-step guidance on what all your insurance options are and how to get the most affordable coverage. The Entertainment Community Fund will provide important information relevant to freelancers and the self-employed. Find out how to estimate variable/sporadic income and see if you’re eligible for free insurance or expanded subsidies to reduce your premiums. This is an excellent opportunity for unbiased, comprehensive information.

Jim Bracchitta is the Associate Director of Health Services at the Entertainment Community Fund. In addition to his work at the Fund, Jim has been a working actor (theater, film, TV, commercials) in NY for 30+ years. Jim is also a Certified Employee Benefit Specialist (CEBS), and is on the faculty of the Trustee Masters Program at the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans.
