Common reasons why artists don't have health insurance:

I'm not sick and I don't plan on getting sick.

I can't afford it.

It's too complicated.  I don't understand the terms/ nomenclature: hmo vs ppo.

I'm overwhelmed by the choices.

My positive affirmations and my vegan/vegetarian/healthy diet will take care of me.


Common Questions:

What's an ideal plan for me?

What is a catastrophic health insurance plan?  Why do I need one?

What is a deductible?

What is co-insurance and why do I need a plan with 0% co-insurance.

Show me options under $100 bucks per month.  Under $90.  Under $80.


Address:

Preventative costs vs treatment costs.

ER vs Primary physician for medical problems.

Waiting times.
