Don't believe there is any such thing; if the whole law stays together after the Supreme Court ruling next year - the state based insurance exchanges are planned to come onboard in 2014. |

In Response to Obamacare For The Self Employed: Yes,I am a 50 year old White male who is self employed and makes approximately $15,000 + per year. How do I go about purchasing 'Obamacare' for the 'Self-employed'? MR Posted by Etherman50 I don't know if you are a Calif. resident or not. If you are you can obtain health care through the State. They have a really good deal set-up wherein you can choose between several HMOs, and purchase one at the same rate as a large company--- and they cannot reject you for pre-existing conditions. This is what saved me years ago when the insurance companies wouldn't accept me because of pre-existing conditions; and, would have bankrupted me when I had another angioplastic later on.It took me 12 years to get out of the hole from paying for the first one out of pocket. Fortunately I have Medicare and Secure Horizons now, because I would have lost my home equity when I had open heart surgery ; and, then couldn't have gotten a reverse mortgage. In other words, I would have been up the creek, without a paddle. I would recommend you "Network" with your resources i.e. Senior Centers, etc., or the insurance brokers to get more info. Personally, I would avoid Obama Care as it is probably going to be so complicated you won't be able to navigate it. Wayne Ford Retired contractor. |
