MIA launches new health insurance help
ANNAPOLIS — The Maryland Insurance Administration has launched a new service to help state residents get through the tangle of obtaining health insurance coverage. Health Care Coverage Assistance Team, or H-CAT, offers assistance from trained staff to help consumers make the right connections for the right coverage for themselves and their families, said Gov.
