:shrug:
there are LOTS of people/professions that don't receive insurance benefits. there are also LOTS of artists that have regular jobs(with benefits) plying their craft.
and for the artists that don't- they can always buy private health insurance as well as anyone else in that situation- "artist" generally isn't considered a 'pre-existing condition'.
it's no more tragic for one group to be without insurance than it is any other group.
the real tragedy is the overall state of our healthcare system, and the way that just about ANY person can be excluded.
