High prices have too many self-employed people settling for inadequate health coverage. Fortunately, self-employed people and sole proprietors can find an affordable health insurance plan.

2 Ways to Find an Affordable Health Plan

When you work for yourself, you have 2 options for health coverage:

• Join a group health plan: Even though you’re technically self-employed, you may be able to take part in one of the inexpensive group plans offered by your chamber of commerce or trade association. A group plan will be your least expensive option, so be sure to check with any trade groups you’re associated with.
  
  Because any such group plan will be well established before you come along, you’ll have to accept it as is. Be sure an existing group plan meets your needs before joining up.
• Buy an individual health plan: You may be surprised at how easy buying an inexpensive individual health plan from most insurance companies is. A variety of individual health policies on the market offer different kinds of coverage aimed at buyers working with a budget.

If your business is doing well enough to hire a full-time employee, you’ll be able to buy a group health plan of your own. Find out how many employees you’ll need to cover before an insurance company will consider your firm a “small business,” then research their policy offerings until you find a plan that’s right for you and your workforce.
