In 1999, was the last time I was pushed out the corporate door. I had to realize what this recession is to so many others, now, earlier in this decade. As an entrepreneur, the freelancers union will help boost me to success, with benefits that I can control. As Heather said (above), we know what our books look like.

Freelancers Union Great example of how much work it can be for a freelancer to insure herself / her family. Highlights some interesting differences between NY health insurance industry and other states (pre-existing conditions, group plan options).

Thanks for sharing that. Also check out www.nyc.gov/HILink , a way for self-employed workers to compare and find public / private / state-subsidized health insurance plans in NYC. It is a new unbiased comparison tool from NYC Gov.

Mr. Yassky's got a good pitch, there. Best of luck.

But is there any reason to think that Liu will not be freelancer-friendly? (I just think that Yassky will likely be inundated at the polls by motivated Asian voters.)
