Testimonials

Poet, Writer and Environmental Activist

The Writers' Coalition health plan is a terrific option for artists, writers and creators who don't already have health benefits. For many, this package is more comprehensive than an individual health plan, and an affordable option for artists who are currently without coverage. It supplies a real need. I'd be joining it myself if I weren't overage!

The health insurance plan from the Writers' Coalition gives me more than my employer was offering. It has a dental plan which isn't an option with the competition. It also provides me with a card so I don't have to save receipts from the pharmacist or dentist and mail them in. It is also cost effective and the monthly premium is tax deductible.

Writer, former Chair of The Writers' Union of Canada

I signed up for the Coalition's health plan last March (2009), went to the dentist in May (2009) and a week later received a cheque for $245. It kind of stunned me. I don't mean the speedy turn-around; I mean the unexpected sense of relief. Like coming down off the high wire to see someone has, at last, installed a net. We've talked forever in the Union about the need for a health plan, one ‘with some teeth in it’. Well we've finally made it happen – and here it is!
