Belladonna & Mardock | Egalitarian Community Living
Community Finances and the BEACH Healthcare Network
Acorn members receive a $75 monthly stipend for personal expenses, while major needs like healthcare are covered by the community. The Federation of Egalitarian Communities operates a shared healthcare network called BEACH, which covers 90% of medical expenses over $5,000. The guests also discuss how the community works to break down class barriers, as members from wealthy backgrounds with trust funds live alongside those who came from poverty.
