Default Insurance?

For those of you self employed, what are you doing about health insurancce for yourself and or your family? That is the single issue I can't solve.

I pay for it out of my own pocket, though I dont have a family to worry about.

Its not cheap, but its something you have to do and you have to work into your business plan and charge accordingly.

There are companies out there that you can sign up for. Health Insurance Plans from Assurant Health is one. If you can join an organization, many have means for group insurance through them. One of them is the National Association for the Self Employed. ||| Nase Health Insurance ||| Obtain a Free Quote and Protect Your Loved Ones Today! That is one I've used and its decent. I'm currently doing some other shopping around though just to see if there is something better out there.

The PPA offers several types of insurance including health to it's members as groupe rates. I don't have it, however I am sure someone on here may have further information.
