Chappell Roan, a Grammy-winning singer, bravely highlighted the inadequate healthcare access within the music industry.
Many recording artists, especially those starting out, lack employer-sponsored health insurance, forcing them into expensive private options.
This lack of coverage creates a significant risk; illness can lead to crippling medical debt, hindering their careers and well-being.
Thankfully, ongoing legislative efforts, such as the Living Wage for Musicians Act, strive to address this systemic issue by increasing artist income.
