Insurance for workers
Our economy depends on you each season. But we’re concerned about your well-being. Most international workers with H-2B visas have no health insurance.
Workers without health insurance sometimes put their health at risk by not going to a doctor, community health center or hospital. Sometimes, because of illness or injury, they can’t work, and they lose wages at the busiest time of the year.
When international workers without insurance do seek treatment, community health centers and hospitals often don’t get paid for their services. The results are higher expenses and insurance premiums for everyone.
