“[Fran] im curious for people like me who have worked since they were 10 and paid dues to [SAG-AFTRA] how when we aren’t able to work for health reasons why our union abandons us,” Shannen wrote on Instagram alongside a selfie of herself that appeared to be taken in a doctor’s office.
She continued, writing, “I think we can do better for all our members and I think you’re person to do it. Health insurance shouldn’t be based on annual income. It’s a lifetime contribution.
