At WFC earlier this month, health insurance for writers came up more than once as a topic in bars and restaurants, along with various solutions people are trying, ranging from the "I'm trying not to get sick" to joining Authors Guild to taking a job just for the benefits.
Sadly Authors Guild's health insurance, while well-intentioned, is only offered in limited markets and some of those markets have become prohibitively pricey. And regardless of cost, it's not an option for those of us who live in the wilds of upstate New York.
