LIVE: Health Insurance

The problem of health insurance for artists is a legal matter because the extent to which it is available, and its cost, for those who are not covered by employing institutions is a product of the national legal framework for health care.  State laws also affect what is available in any given place because they shape what health providers can and cannot do.
