WASHTENAW COUNTY RESIDENTS: FYI: If you are living in Washtenaw county, are uninsured, and making $620 or less per month, Washtenaw Health Plan A is opening again for the month of April. The WHP reps really want to sign up as many people as they can, which is encouraging, and this insurance will turn into supercharged Medicaid in 2014. More info here!!
