This question is also important for those who are covered now, but whose coverage may expire on their own retirement, or on the retirement of their spouse (which is the way many of the self-employed get their health insurance).

Being an old guy, that started me looking a while back. I asked my friends and acquaintances, even got some good tips via my attorney.

First, let me tell you what happened when I posted exactly this question to users of my self-produced line of instructional DVDs (in this case, self-employed entertainers) – I got some good answers, and a couple of desperately wrongheaded ones that I kept as bad examples. I posted them on my own website in a section I provide as “web freebies” for my customers – you might like to see their suggested approaches:

Second, I’ve been continuing my own exploration – my wife wants to retire, and her employer has no provision for continuing coverage.

I found that, although options vary widely from state to state, in most areas it’s possible to affiliate with some organization through which you can purchase health insurance. Perhaps a local arts council, Chamber of Commerce, fraternal organization, some college alumni organizations, etc. AARP is working on a comprehensive plan. Even Costco has both health and dental plans for members in Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii and Nevada. Ask your self-employed friends what they do (especially professionals, even if they’re in other professions) and you’ll get some good answers applicable to your area.

It’s not Adobe’s FAULT, but Adobe can more directly address the issue of Adobe’s programs being hardwired to look for QT where they’re used to finding it.

Apple’s “here’s where to find it nowadays” dll just doesn’t clue Adobe programs in correctly, and Apple (miserable so-and-so’s) does warn not to depend on that redirect.

I do have a solution, posted above.

Point 1: I shoulda searched recent posts, an answer (the right one, though not the answer I was hoping for) was already here.

Point 2: Deleted QT7, reinstalled QT6, AE works fine.

New question: So many things are coming out that only work on QT7, how do we work this out? It won’t let you have both, it seems.

I’m sorry. No, really, extremely sorry.

This isn’t such a mystery when you go to the source – the Bureau of Engraving and Printing website has the following under the topic “Reproduction of Currency” (quoted in pertinent part)

…authority is hereby given for the printing, publishing … or the making … of the necessary plates or items for such printing or publication, of color illustrations of U.S. currency provided that:

1. The illustration must be of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of any matter so illustrated; 2. The illustration must be one sided; and 3. All negatives, plates, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof shall be destroyed and or deleted or erased after their final use in accordance with this section.

—————

The comparatively poor (for counterfeiting purposes) of film and video, and their projection at various sizes, would seem to meet the above requirements, in my view – as for the last part about destroying the preprint materials, film and video seem to have indefinite lives, so who is to say when the final use of the preprint materials occurs? Note that the statute does not require the destruction of the finished prints/tapes.
