Musicians lack health care

As we mentioned earlier, a lot young young people don't have access to health insurance---because they work in jobs where it is not provided, they don't qualify, or they can't afford to make payments.

Well, being a musician is one of those jobs, as this article in the Chicago Reader discusses.

"For many musicians, however, health insurance remains something they'll worry about later; members of all three bands on Friday's bill are currently uninsured. Eternals singer Damon Locks, 35, was covered through a day job he gave up about five months ago, but since then he's gone without. "I haven't organized myself to get insurance on my own," he says. "I know it's going to be expensive, but it's easy to put it on the back burner."
