As a kid I disliked Jesse Jackson because at a some social justice event where they served breakfast he cut the line and took the last of the sausage patties. I loudly called him out, embarrassed my parents and "ruined the event". Mr. Jackson talked to my parents and apologized. I got fussed at.

I once told Jesse Jackson I was a narrow band of his Rainbow Coalition; Jesse helped me win a congressional primary in 1984 & I was his VA state co-chair in 1988 when he ran for President; we won VA & went to the Democratic Convention; Jesse fought for liberty and equality.

This is an important point - but it also should address a huge problem in SAG AFTRA. If you don't work, you don't get health insurance. If you're dying of cancer for many years, you can't work.
Only in America, can you be a successful television star where others made millions off of you, and can't access healthcare without going bankrupt.
