The problem Musicians and other artists face is not health care... it is food, housing, transportation, gear/supplies, etc. not to mention an industry that is not based on talent as much as it is marketability.

Most aspiring musicians are young and have the ability to get public medical treatment as it is. Many aspiring musicians are on food stamps and government assistance right now.

Health care is not holding artists back from developing their talent, it never has... it is just Pelosi trying to gain some points and give the illusion that pandering to freeloaders is somehow catering to the "arts".
