GIST Support WikiGeorgetown University has published "A Consumer's Guide to Getting and Keeping Health Insurance." Unique guides for each state and DC are posted at [1].
The guides summarize key consumer rights and protections in job-based group health insurance and individually purchased coverage. They also alert consumers to public programs in each state that may provide or subsidize health coverage.
The Georgetown guides have been recognized by insurance regulators, consumer advocates and the press as an expert and informative resource. *Access is free*; individuals may read the guides online or print formatted copies for their own use. Over the past ten years, support for these guides has been provided by foundations (including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) and other organizations (including the AARP and the American Cancer Society).
