ROC's Affordable Health Insurance Plan

Nearly 90% of restaurant workers do not have health insurance. This leads to a large number of restaurant workers relying on emergency care as a form of healthcare.

ROC-United partnered with Aetna Health Insurance to develop an affordable health insurance plan for restaurant workers. The plan was selected by a group of restaurant workers from several ROC locals to offer low-cost access to a nationwide network of doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies and provides limited medical coverage.

Why should restaurant workers purchase this plan?

• Having the health insurance plan encourages restaurant workers to practice preventative care, which save costs in the long-run for the worker and to taxpayers. 
• Prevents chronic conditions from developing.
• This health insurance covers costly tests that workers would have to fork out hundreds of dollars otherwise. 

Single members, members +1, and families can be covered. For single members, the plan cost $35 per week with a total of $140 per month and a deductible of $100.  Co-pays are only $10 for retail clinic and $20 in-network. There are also coverage options for vision, dental, accident, hospital, and cancer.


This plan is not for workers who have chronic illnesses or need comprehensive services. However, we can help workers find other options.
