Shannen Doherty is calling out SAG-AFTRA and its president Fran Drescher over the organization’s health insurance coverage.
The 51-year-old Charmed actress is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, and she has taken to social media to reveal that SAG-AFTRA has cancelled her health insurance amid her breast cancer battle.
Taking to Instagram, Shannen shared a selfie of herself inside what appeared to be a doctor’s office. Alongside, she wrote:
“[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.”
She went on, pointedly calling out their policies:
“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.
And for me and many others, we have paid a lifetime of dues to only be canceled because we don’t meet your current criteria. Not ok.”
Shannen first revealed her diagnosis in 2015.
