Writers In Communities, a program of GEMINI INK seeks Stories of the Uninsured
from the latest Gemini Ink e-newsletter:
"According to the American Medical Association, 46 million Americans are uninsured due to the high costs of insurance, or have limited access to health plans and benefits for various reasons including being self-employed, between jobs, or having a pre-existing medical condition. It’s essential that we document our stories for history’s sake, for future generations, for ourselves."
The Writers In Communities program of Gemini Ink wants you to share your story about how not having health insurance has affected your life and well-being. Send a brief narrative of your experience to:
wic@geminiink.org
or
mail it to their offices at
513 S. Presa, San Antonio, TX 78205 (ATTN: WIC).
Twenty stories will be recorded and transcribed in this oral history project between Gemini Ink and Methodist Healthcare Ministries.
(No deadline was mentioned in any materials I came across about this, but figure that interested folks should submit their narratives sooner than later.)
ADDENDUM: As per the comment below, Gemini Ink plans to interview people throughout the month of November 2009. Again, please contact the Writers in Communities program at wic@geminiink.org if you are interested in participating. Thank you.
