Thanks to you both for the thoughtful and personal commentary.

This may seem like an odd topic for this bboard, but I know several oboists who struggle with this problem and adjunct faculty who go without access to employer-provided HC like I did while teaching oboe at Shenandoah Conservatory years ago.

I suspect it will get much worse for many unless and until our elected representatives can manage to stop the partisan bickering and really get focused and motivated to bring about constructive change around this issue.

It is my hope that musicians and artists, people with some vision, will join in the effort to build a successful foundation for healthcare reform. Part of that challenge will be helping others avoid the political trickery and slight of hand side-stepping that characterizes the current efforts.

Musicians in particular distinguish themselves by virtue of long-practiced deep listening skills. They can be used to provide clarity of context in conversation much like they do when we tune or perform our parts in the bigger musical settings.

Well, we have to start somewhere...
