Description: This is a continuation grant that will build on the 2004 design and evaluation. The purpose of Access Health is to provide an affordable health coverage product to a niche of small businesses and their employees who are able to assist in payment of coverage, but unable to participate at commercial levels. Funding comes from three sources: employer, employee and community. Thus, the funding structure is a 'Three-Share' model. The goal of the project is to continue to reduce the number of uninsured people in Muskegon County.
