Songwriters get free healthcare access with a membership in trade group **Songwriters of North America** (SONA) thanks to a grant from **Amazon Music.**

While not full health insurance, the program offers free and accessible healthcare for self-employed songwriters at home and on tour.

[**SONA**](https://www.wearesona.com/?ref=hypebot.com) members get healthcare via a 1 year **Amazon One Medical** subscription that includes 24/7 access to video visits. These memberships are normally priced at $199 per year or $99 with an Amazon Prime Membership.

“Songwriters are the heartbeat of the music industry. They shape the soundtrack of our lives and give voice to culture, yet too many lack access to affordable healthcare,” **Tom Winkler, Head of Publisher, Songwriter, and Society Relations for Amazon Music** told [Variety](https://variety.com/2025/music/news/songwriters-of-north-america-healthcare-benefits-1236474717/?ref=hypebot.com).

“In collaboration with Amazon One Medical and Songwriters of North America, we are committed to changing that. By making it easier for songwriters to connect with trusted healthcare providers, we are supporting their health and safeguarding their ability to create, inspire, and thrive.”
