Health Insurance for Self-Employed
Everyone needs health insurance. When my husband was laid-off from his job we lost his health insurance benefit, it was a huge loss for our family. We have two teen aged children and we needed health insurance fast. My husband was able to start his own handyman business which does fairly well from a money standpoint, but we needed health insurance coverage.
It’s not difficult to find health insurance for self-employed people if you go on line and search. You can look at many different plans from many different insurance companies. We were able to find an individual health insurance policy to cover our family with monthly premiums we could afford.
When I started my own business I knew that it was a financial risk. One of the first things I did was look into finding health insurance that was affordable for me and my family. I had no knowledge about health insurance for self-employed. I had been employed and had coverage through my employer. I didn’t know if I wanted and HMO or PPO, or even what they were.
I needed to find out about deductibles and co-insurance amounts. I wanted to find the best insurance coverage for my family at the best possible price. There is a lot of great information available on line about health insurance. I was able to make a well informed decision.
