Resources for Health Insurance, Under and Uninsured

Health insurance benefits are often confusing to read and difficult to appeal, especially for a family with a child with special healthcare needs. Families often lack the expertise, experience and clout to successfully deal with insurance issues and this can add significant emotional and financial stress.
