The program, available for single and married women between the ages of 18-64 years old (with or without children), is a nationwide effort to protect disadvantaged women from high medical bills and prescription payments.
Through their web site, www.HealthCareForWomen.org, women can apply by completing a brief form to obtain a free quote based on their age, weight, height, pre-existing conditions, and whether or not they smoke.
