Have you been under the weather lately but didn’t go to the doctor?

Is an apple a day no longer keeping the doctor away?

Can’t afford health insurance because creating art doesn’t give you the buying power to participate in a group plan like your counterparts in corporate America? Maybe this will help.

A friend and fellow artist sent a link to this site for me to pass along to all of you.  It won’t guarantee you health insurance, but it is certainly a good resource to find health insurance.  In addition, this site gives you an opportunity to voice your concerns about health care—regardless of your opinion on the matter.  Take a look…

The Artists’ Health Insurance Resource Center mission is to make quality, affordable health insurance and health care available to every artist in the United States.  AHIRC.org is an up-to-date, comprehensive and unbiased database of health care resources for artists, performers, freelancers and the self-employed.

AHIRC recently launched a new website helping artists get involved in the health care reform debate. At this moment artists have a unique opportunity to improve our quality of life by demanding affordable guaranteed-issue insurance. Visit Artists United to learn more.

The Artists Health Insurance Resource Center has written brief guides on getting affordable health care and health insurance in cities around the country. These guides outline public and private health insurance options in a practical Q & A format. Included are links to pertinent websites and phone numbers of selected clinics and pharmacies.
