Help is available to certain low-income residents of Kentucky who cannot afford to buy health insurance. Medicaid, the Kentucky Women’s Cancer Screening Program, and the Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program (KCHIP) offer free or subsidized health insurance coverage, direct medical services or other help at little or no cost to you.

In addition, the federal government, under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program, provides tax credits to some workers who lose their jobs or whose work hours and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports. This chapter provides summary information about these programs and contact information for further assistance.
