After all, if they were making money as writers/musicians/actors, they'd have to pay their own insurance just like any self-employed. COBRA still applies, as well.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

How many of these professional writers, musicians, actors etc. are locked into jobs at Home Depot, anyway? The point is, what do they do until they "make it." The answer is, work side jobs, most of which aren't don't qualify for group insurance. Even once a person has made it into in most of the entertainment unions, you still have to work a certain number of days before you qualify and you have to continue to work a certain number of days each year to remain eligible. I do know some teacher's unions work the same way. Don't know about many of the others. I don't really expect anyone outside the business to understand how the entertainment industry works, the same way somebody that works on an oil rig wouldn't expect me to know how somebody gets a job and makes it there. It's ok.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #40 May 24, 2010 I dunno, why don't you tell me your life story including the detail of your financial history, ups and down, medical insurance and we can call it even? What?!? You're not willing to spill your history of medical insurance and financial status across the web for any random person to read? I'm shocked! Let's just say mine is a typical story with ups and downs, working for a Fortune 100 company, being a freelancer WELL beyond any sort of Cobra coverage at this point and yes, I pay for my own health insurance completely out of my own pocket because I don't qualify based on days worked to get it through the union. I would not have been able to afford to pay for myself as a freelancer in my youth and did go without any sort of medical insurance for a few years out of college. The crappy side gig was just barely paying for rent, food and inner tubes on the bicycle. What Pelosi is talking about in the clip is the ability to be able to buy it for a reasonable rate as provided in the new healthcare bill and not being afraid of quitting the crappy side gig. She specifically is NOT saying that anybody else is going to pay for it.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #47 May 24, 2010 Like I said, a person has to work a certain number of days to qualify. It's typical. Ya have to understand where if they didn't do that a guy might get in the union, never work another day yet still be carried by the group insurance. It's understandable; ya gotta draw a line somewhere. Where I draw the line is when people say other people have said something and they haven't. I personally call that lying. I'd be interested to see if Turtlespeed can find where Pelosi actually says somebody is going to PAY for somebody else's healthcare if they quit their jobs. The healthcare bill doesn't provide for free healthcare. It provides the ability to purchase it at competitive rates.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
