Description

Comedians in Chicago are facing a healthcare crisis—with nearly 16% completely uninsured and many others struggling with expensive, inadequate coverage. A new report by the Health Alliance for Chicago Comedians reveals how the end of COVID-era tax credits has made ACA plans unaffordable, echoing similar struggles among musicians and dancers. Advocates say a safety net could unlock more touring and income, while venues like the Lincoln Lodge are exploring group health options to help artists thrive without fear of medical bills.
