[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 7826719, member: 16077"] The problem isn't due to any particular government or healthcare system when you are specificallyb talking about artists. The problem is really the fundamental fact that being an artist and expecting to make a great living at it requires patronage. It's no different than in ye oldest tymes when an artist would find a wealthy patron. Now access to art is easier, but that access comes at the price of having more patrons but less of them able to provide you a living. With a niche like TTRPGs, the quantity of patrons is low. This is exacerbated by distribution channels that own the copyright rather than the artist. These two things mean that to be successful, you either need to control your own copyrights or have RPG products as only a part of your portfolio. Now if you are talking healthcare amongst the US genpop, the issue isn't healthcare per se, it's the fact that health insurance makes healthcare so much more expensive, coupled with a US government that refuses to allow price negotiations with big pharma - the US pharma consumer subsidizes the rest of the world's pharma prices.
