Healthcare climate for artists
Article Abstract:
A survey conducted to study the percentage of insured artists, revealed that as much as 37 percent of artists who carry health insurance, pay for it out of their craft or art business. The mounting medical bills and loss of income can force the artists out of their art business and into a less-satisfying office job and therefore a growing need for organizations that offer health insurance plans as a part of their membership is stressed upon.
