Help is available to certain low-income residents of Louisiana who cannot afford to buy health insurance.  Medicaid, which includes the Louisiana Children’s Health Insurance Program (LaCHIP), and other programs offer free or subsidized health insurance coverage, direct medical services or other help. 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 this program and contact information for further assistance.
