On Tuesday, June 11 and Thursday, June 13, 2019, participants from Premera Blue Cross at their Mountlake Terrace and North Creek locations took part in a Cost of Poverty Experience (COPE) simulation. COPE offers a snapshot of the obstacles that are faced, the decisions that are made, and the consequences that impact families every day. COPE also reveals how the policies and systems within out community help, or hinder, the progress of these families.
