lagilman | a few dollars in your pocket? here's a better way to spend it than at Starbucks.

One of the great debates going on in politics these days involves health insurance/coverage. In an ideal world, there would be affordable, effective medical servces available to us all. This is not an ideal world.

As some of you know, I was Caitlin Kiernan's editor in the wayback years. I'm insanely proud of the part I had in bringing her to the attention of the larger audience with Silk, Threshold, and Low Red Moon.

Yesterday, Caitlin finally mentioned in her blog the dental/medical problems she's been having for several years now, and the inevitable collision of freelance writer-without-insurance, and medical costs. At the urging of her readers, she has set up ways that people, if they feel so-moved, can help.

If you've ever read her work, now would be a lovely time to say 'thank you.'
