Health Insurance Tips for the Home Business Owner

by Mary Emma Allen on November 25th, 2007

                                         

You’ll find many things to consider when choosing health insurance when you’re self-employed…or when you desire to change health insurance if your premium skyrockets.  Sometimes, too, you’ll be priced out of your health insurance, as we were, because you’ve entered an age bracket that generally has more health problems.  Even though my husband and I hardly ever needed medical treatment at that time, this didn’t come under consideration.

When I asked, at the insurance office if we were deliberately being priced out of health insurance with that particular company (premiums had become higher and coverage lowered), the woman I was talking with  suggested we try to find another company that dealt with older, self-employed people. 

Laura Spencer has a good post, Do You and Your Family Have Health Insurance, at Work From Home Momma.

 Miranda at Yielding Wealth has something to say about health insuturance in her post, More on Health Insurance.

You’ll find additional information about health insurance at Lawmummy.

    Thanks, Laura, for stopping and commenting. You had some great information about health insurance on your Work From Home Momma blog that I thought Home Biz Notes readers could use.
