[The Lone Ranger]

We've started a fund, since some people have had to cancel their insurance, given that they can't pay the now-outrageous premiums. Naturally, one staff member cancelled her insurance and was then hospitalized with a kidney stone, so we're using the fund to help pay her hospital bill.

We just got an e-mail today from one faculty member who said that, regrettably, he can't contribute to the fund. Given how much he now has to pay for health insurance, he's facing the very real prospect of losing his house.
