Hello,
Can anyone give me a direction for Health Insurance for the self employed. I presently have just pasted my probation period at my new job that I HATE, obtained group health insurance and cancelled my private insurance, my husband also had to cancel his group policy as he has downsized his business and no longer has a group. I am in my late 40's and his is in his early 50's and like most people our age have some health concerns but nothing huge. I am looking for another job but the cut in pay from the job before this horible one to this new one was huge and it seems that I will have to take another cut with a new job. I know I can subsidize my income with a home based business that I think can make me more money in the future but the insurance isssue is a big one.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Pray for our troops to come home safe and soon.
Enjoying the road to the simple life :>) |

Betty Jo,
My state, Washington, has its own health insurance plan that is an option for those who don't have insurance through their employment, or they are self-empoyed. Perhaps Wisconsin has such a program, too? Here's the link for my state, to help you do some research:
