This article brings up some really important concerns about the new health plan and how it will affect specific groups more so than others. I am glad that the fund seems to have a plan put in place for how it will help people who are pregnant. But even that plan there is a lot of restrictions on and they don’t even know how long it will last. But it does not seem they have a plan for how to help people who have a harder time getting hired because of casting and hiring biases, specifically people in the BIPOC community, which is very concerning. I really wish the fund would listen to the concerns people are sharing about in equal access to jobs and how this new health plan will further harm those already harmed by this industry. There is also the problem that likely only people working in the major cities of New York, LA, and Chicago will be able to find work for enough weeks to get the health coverage.
