The trap of not having health insurance? I love these guys as part of our bluegrass family, but they should have insurance. It's no one's fault but your own if you don't. I consider myself one of the "regular folks." I don't work for a big company that provides insurance. I provide it myself by shelling out the cash every month. And I'm glad to do it. Sure it' expensive, but so are a bunch of medical bills. It's part of doing business. A musician, or band, should just calculate their health insurance into the cost of doing business. It's a fairly fixed cost that just gets factored into your monthly budget. There's a seminar I'd like to see at IBMA, "Budgeting and Business Administration for Musicians." The problem is, I'm not sure it would be well attended. :-( What trap would that be? The trap of not having health insurance?

There's something very wrong in this country when Americans have to live like this, and it's even worse for regular folks who don't get benefit concerts.
