The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced a new initiative aimed at ensuring health insurance benefits for every qualified producer working full-time in the film and television industry. The initiative was revealed on Sunday night by PGA presidents Stephanie Allain and Donald De Line during the 35th annual PGA Awards in Los Angeles.

Production companies Blumhouse, Legendary, Macro and Berlanti Productions have already pledged their support for the historic health care initiative.

“Producers, unlike unionized creative professionals in the industry, lack guaranteed health insurance benefits. No one should go without these essential benefits. Producing is challenging enough without the added anxiety of wondering how you are going to obtain health coverage for you and your family,” PGA presidents Allain and De Line said.
