41. Yes, and so can artists. But why deny one while tolerating the other?
You're simply not making sense. You have this idea that the arts are some sort of fluffery, a side gig or hobby that some can partake in while doing something else. While that is possible, it in no accounts for those artists who are AFL (artists for life) and who create as their living. You wouldn't want to see the antique dealer lose their health insurance just because there was a downturn in the market, would you?

Why would you not afford the same to a career artist?
