One of the greatest concerns clients express to me is how they will afford health care after divorce. This is becoming a more critical issue in Michigan as the economy plummets and unemployment skyrockets. The State of Michigan is attempting to offer some help. The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has launched a new website which offers information to Michigan residents seeking low cost or even free health care. The MDCH website contains links to web pages containing information on various health care programs, including community health centers, free health clinics, various mental health services, as well as programs for dental care, prescription assistance, medical screening for breast and cervical cancer and treatment programs, family planning and information about Medicaid enrollment.
If you are concerned about the future health care of your family during these difficult economic times, check out the MDCH website at www.michigan.gov/mdch.
