In the same boat

I read with great interest the article (BDN, March 1) on health insurance for fishermen. It is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

Let’s not forget, however, that there are many of us self-employed people in the same boat. Our family pays $406 a month for a $10,000-per-incident policy, and we had to search for that. I’d rather pay it than risk financial ruin. We are not asking for miracles, just a little relief.
