Brian Beutler, writing for Salon:
One of the less obvious consequences of serious accidents is that victims often become uninsurable on the individual market as a result. Freelance work just wasn’t an option for me.
Obamacare really will change that. But only if it works. And it won’t work if too many young people decide to roll the dice.
I’ve long thought the biggest positive effect of Obamacare — aside from providing healthcare for many who don’t have it today, of course — is that more folks will be able to work outside the traditional corporate structure.
I’m excited.
