PEOPLE ARE DYING because they can't afford health insurance. And that worries Susie at Suburban Guerrilla, because work has been slow -- and if she loses her job, she loses her health insurance.

Wow. Can I ever relate to that. I just qualified for health insurance at my job; I had to wait a year to get it because I'm part-time. And I'm not in danger of losing my job (I hope). But when I was hired, I was told I would be working 3 or 4 days a week, and for the past month they've only been giving me 2 days a week. It's really hard to survive on 2 days of work a week. But if I leave, there goes my health insurance.

So basically I'm working for health insurance.
