Audience Comments:
- “Definitely found out that T4C can be done via online. That is awesome, I think that would be a great opportunity for people to sit in their own homes with their electronic devices and participate in this program. Due to a lot of people not having private insurance, interesting that they have a 3rd party biller for the cost.” — Anita
