My husband and I have had two businesses fail, been without health insurance, purchased health insurance that doesn’t cover pre-existing conditions and offers no benefits before the enormous deductible that made it somewhat affordable, and narrowly avoided foreclosure. The stress of it affected everything in my life. I’ve seen my adult daughters, one a single-parent, feeling hopeless, and what bugs me almost more than everything else is seeing that any kind of alternative life – like for the artist – is impossible now. The only way to survive seems to be working for the government or a big enough corporation that some benefits are still acquirable. This choiceless place, governed by a ruling class that can do no more than swagger in endless argument, is America? It’s not my America.
