Orange County United Way actively engages in outreach and education for Covered CA to ensure all individuals and families in our community have access to healthcare.

No one plans to get sick or hurt, and most people need medical care at some point in their life. Having health coverage will help put your mind at ease ensuring that you have access to health services in a timely manner.

Access to health care services is important for promoting and maintaining health, preventing and managing disease, reducing unnecessary disability and premature death, and achieving health equity for all individuals.

Success Stories

The value of health care is evident daily at United Way. One recent enrollee, Masako was eight months pregnant and awaiting the birth of her second child when we met her. On top of the usual concerns any couple has when they’re expecting, Masako was near tears as she considered her family’s tenuous coverage situation. Her husband had employee-only health insurance through his employer but the family plan was unaffordable. With her due date fast approaching, Orange County United Way helped her enroll in a plan that was right for her and her family.

As a cancer survivor, now I am able to purchase insurance through Covered California and don’t have to pay those high premiums due to a pre-existing condition.
