The State
Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) provides free,
objective, and personalized insurance counseling to people
with Medicare, their families, and caregivers. Federally
funded and administered at the state and local levels,
SHIP empowers and assists millions of people each year,
helping them navigate enrollment periods, understand their
benefits, and find help with out-of-pocket costs. But
funding for SHIP has failed to keep pace with Medicare
enrollment, which grew 25 percent in the past
decade.
