Shannen Doherty is in the middle of her cancer treatment, which has been made more difficult without proper health insurance coverage. She wrote via Instagram tagging the current president of the SAG-AFTRA organization.
"I’m curious for people like me who have worked since they were 10 and paid dues to @sagaftra how when we aren’t able to work for health reasons why our union abandons us. I think we can do better for all our members and I think you’re [the] person to do it. Health insurance shouldn’t be based on annual income. It’s a lifetime contribution. And for me and many others, we have paid a lifetime of dues to only be canceled because we don’t meet your current criteria. Not OK.”
Doherty did not go into specifics about why she is unhappy with her health insurance.
