Living life without a net

I deleted this original post because it concerned someone other than myself. I don't want anything in this blog to reflect on anyone but me. Therefore, to begin again...

I want to offer support for all the people who have benefited and actually been saved by access to healthcare. As the title says, many folks, especially artists, musicians, writers, and photographers have lived for years on their own, without health insurance, "like a trapeze artist without a net," as a friend often says. This has caused many problems to go unaddressed and when this happens, the results have sometimes been catastrophic. Some of these folks are in my own family or are close friends. I am thankful for those who now have access and can go forward with their lives with more confidence since they can go see a doctor when they need it. I wish them well.
