Hey there, fellow self-employed rockstar! 👋


Are you running your own business but feeling stuck about health insurance? Don't worry - I've got your back! As someone who talks to self-employed people every day, I know finding affordable health coverage can feel like solving a puzzle. Let's break it down into simple, bite-sized pieces.


Why You Need Health Insurance When Self-Employed

Think of health insurance like a safety net for your business. Just like you wouldn't drive a car without insurance, you shouldn't run your business without protecting your health! One unexpected hospital visit could cost more than a new car - yikes!


Your Best Options in 2025:

  1. Marketplace Plans / ACA

    1. ✅ Often the most affordable choice

    2. ✅ You might get help paying for it

    3. ✅ Can't be turned down for health conditions

Fun fact: Most of our self-employed clients save between $200-500 per month using marketplace tax credits!


  1. Health Sharing Ministries

    1. ✅ Sometimes cheaper than traditional insurance

    2. ✅ No enrollment periods

    3. ⚠️ But watch out - they don't cover everything!


  2. Professional Associations

    1. ✅ Group rates might save you money

    2. ✅ Often include extra perks

    3. ⚠️ Check if they're available in your area


Money-Saving Tips That Actually Work

• Tip #1: Check Your Income

Did you know? If you make between $15,000 and $60,000, you might get super cheap coverage through the marketplace!


• Tip #2: Time It Right Mark your calendar!

Open enrollment runs from November 1st to January 15th. Missing it could cost you big time!


• Tip #3: Look at Your Whole Business

Sometimes, paying a bit more in monthly premiums can save you money on taxes. Smart business thinking!


Real People, Real Savings

Meet Sarah (one of our clients): "I was paying $750 monthly for private insurance. After switching to a marketplace plan, I now pay $175. That's $6,900 saved every year!"


Common Questions (That Won't Make Your Head Spin)

A: Usually! We'll help you check before you pick a plan.


Q: What if my income changes?

A: No worries! You can update your marketplace plan anytime.
