The primary goal of the Insure Detroit Partnership is to enhance health insurance literacy for community residents in Detroit. The partnership developed Insuring Good Health. Insuring Good Health is a website with a series of short videos that provide information on navigating health insurance and care. The primary goal of Insuring Good Health is to increase understanding of healthcare coverage and the Affordable Care Act. The videos use storytelling techniques to convey information through six, superhero characters. Insuring Good Health is available in Arabic, English, and Spanish, and in a format suitable for all literacy levels. The website and videos are available to the public at insuringgoodhealth.org.
