I wasn't aware California had such crazy healthcare figures - 6.7 million with no insurance of any kind, 800,000 of them children & 40% with household incomes above $50K. Cali has more uninsured people than any other state - Pretty wild no?
Blue Shield is putting up naked statues all over LA to represent the "uncovered" Californian. One hundred life-size versions of these statues will be planted across LA and SF. I've been without health insurance for over a year at one point - being a freelancer and all it is easy to do (not smart - I know, I know ;) but to hear that so many children are not insured is scary and it shows that something needs to be done. I am glad to see that Blue Shield is taking action by raising awareness and by also being the 1st health insurer to propose a strategy for universal coverage.
Hmmm, but knowing the good intentions of these nude statues still won't stop me from trying to fondle one on the street - hahahahah ;)
