Well, &#8220;works for&#8221; is being generous. Actually she&#8217;s the executive director of Arts in Education Aid Council, at the Armory Center for the Arts, in Pasadena, CA. Her husband used to work in the entertainment industry until he lost his job and decided to go into business for himself.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it seems that they were so strapped in this economy that they had to choose between their health insurance and their mortgage, and of course, they chose their mortgage.

It&#8217;s part of President Obama&#8217;s healthcare plan, one of the things that has already kicked in, and it guarantees access to insurance for U.S. citizens with preexisting conditions<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She doesn&#8217;t mention that because of her irresponsibility, healthcare costs are rising for all of us, so we&#8217;re being forced to pay for her sloth. And it&#8217;s kind of funny that NOW they can seem to find the money to pay for her health insurance but they couldn&#8217;t last year.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, that house that they chose to pay for instead of health insurance.

And why do we have pay for her poor choices?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So this is my public apology.
