The Fishing Partnership Health Plan Works!

• Thousands of fishermen and their family members receive comprehensive health care coverage.
• The rate of the uninsured among fishermen in Massachusetts has dropped from 43% to 13%.
• The fishermen pay 60% of the costs.
• The FPHP saved $4.15 for every $1 of Federal funding.
• Every $1 of Federal Funding has been matched by over $4 from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
• • Boston University study, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, identified early-on the possibility of using the FPHP as a model for other programs that would provide high-quality, affordable health care coverage to other under-served populations.
