[Hidden-tech] Getting health insurance as a freelancer

[Yadim Medore]

As a small business we work with Nicole at Dowd in Holyoke as our broker.
She is amazing. I can't recommend her enough. She's practically like our
outsourced medical/dental benefits department in that she handles the
heavy lifting with the paperwork and communication with the health care
providers. All at no additional charge to you. Plus she is incredibly
responsive and accountable.

She has access to all the HSA and MBA plans and will cross-compare and
walk you through finding what is the best fit for you and your business.
