Yesterday, we told you about FMC’s Billboard Op-Ed about the possible impacts of health care reform on musicians.

Well, right after hitting “publish” on that blog post, we saw this Pitchfork article that also mentions our work on the issue. The piece, called “What’s the Matter With Sweden,” looks at how American musicians have dealt with our health care system over the years. There are a couple of juicy quotes from Alex Maiolo, the program officer for FMC’s Health Insurance Navigation Tool (HINT), which offers free information to musicians looking to learn more about their health insurance options.

LANCASTER, PA – Blending the modern with the traditional is always a challenge, particularly when it comes to architectural landmarks. Such was the case with the Lancaster County Convention Center, a $170 million facility designed to fit within the classic 19th century Pennsylvania Dutch façade of the city's landmark Watt and Shand department store.
The Convention Center is
designed for versatility, with a 46,000 square foot exhibit hall, 9,000 square
foot ballroom and numerous other meeting areas. This same versatility also
presented the biggest challenges in creating an audio system suitable for the
space, explains Daniel Rohrer of Sage Technology Solutions in Mt. Joy, Penn.
