[Hidden-tech] Self Employed Health Insurance

[Daniel Fried]

Lisa,

 

If you're self-employed or own a small company, check with your local
chamber of commerce.  They often get good group rates with the only caveat
being membership in the chamber, through the Easthampton chamber we have
complete family (2 adults + dependant children) HMO/PPO coverage (not
catastrophic) for a bit over $600/month.  I would guess they have
catastrophic plans for less.

 

There are other business associations with similar deals, but I don't
remember them off the top of my head, it's been a while since I researched
this.

I've been looking around for health insurance for myself and my spouse.
Hearing a lot of quotes but the rates are out of reach right now. 

($400 a month for catastrophic plan w/ high deductible)

We would like a high deductible plan ($5000 or higher) that would cover us
100% if something bad happened (injury/illness) ....we plan to supplement
this w/ an HSA (health spending account).

Does anyone have any ideas or things they have tried that might work for us?

 

Thanks
