Why Seafood Processing Workers Need ACA Coverage
H2B workers in the seafood processing industry face occupational health risks including repetitive hand and wrist injuries, cold storage exposure, knife and machinery accidents. ACA Marketplace insurance covers all of these — doctor visits, prescriptions, emergency care, and specialist referrals. Most H2B workers in seafood processing qualify for $0 monthly premiums through Premium Tax Credits.
