Important Note to Actors About SAG and AFTRA

Posted on November 25th, 2009 | For Actors

Actor unions SAG and AFTRA offer the highest quality, lowest cost healthcare I have ever seen. And it doesn’t matter if you are Creepy Guy in the Alley #2 or George Clooney. You get the same care at the same price as long as you are in good standing with the union.

Shockingly, hundreds of people who are union-eligible are not in good standing, and therefore ineligible for health benefits. That’s inexcusable.

Keep up with your union dues and health plan payments. Seriously. Get organized and pay your bills or have your manager do it for you. It’s borderline criminal to voluntarily forfeit that level of coverage. Don’t waste an opportunity that millions would love to have.

And if you do need healthcare and don’t have insurance, it’s really, really expensive when you go to the doctor. Especially if you are Creepy Guy in the Alley #2.
