Copious Readers,
We at Onely are trying to write more about the issues of being single and sick (health insurance inequalities being one of the main bullsh!t factors creating a more difficult situation for singles with chronic illnesses).
So we were thrilled to see that Bella dePaulo, longtime singles advocate and social scientist, posted a guest article by Nika Beamon about dating and living with a chronic immune disorder.
We also tweeted it, so we request you retweet so that we can get the dialog going!

During this year’s National Singles Week, I put out a call especially to singles to get behind the universal health care bandwagon because in my experience it hits us especially hard not to have it. I am glad this topic is being revisited because as a single with a chronic illness this insurance mess is especially disturbing to me.
