Comedians for Comedians and The Actors Fund will address one of the top concerns for comedians: affordable health insurance.
Comedians for Comedians, a new organization dedicated to helping comedians, and The Actors Fund will join forces to host a health insurance and health guide for comedians workshop Monday, April 7 at the Melrose Improv in Hollywood. The workshop will begin at 2pm.
Topics will include finding and comparing the benefits of private insurance, availability of association plans from arts and professional organizations such as SAG and AFTRA, and places and programs in the Los Angeles area offering affordable care for when you are uninsured.
A health care guide to Los Angeles will also be provided, along with an orientation to The Actors Fund HIRC web site which provides free, comprehensive information about health care resources.
Leading the discussion will be Daniel Kitowski, M.S.W., Manager, Insurance Resources Western Region, The Actors Fund and George Geldin (insurance agent representing the Motion Picture Television Fund, CA License #0B51887.)
Everyone in the comedy business is encouraged to attend. If you have questions or cannot attend, feel free to contact The Actors Fund Health Insurance Resource Center at (323) 933-9244, Ext. 32 and ask for Dan Kitowski.
