I'm seriously thinking of going full time in Internet Marketing but one of my main concerns is where to get affordable health insurance. Anybody has any idea or suggestions?:confused:

    Unless you can afford the premiums (ie: United Healthcare wanted to charge me nearly $2k a month for a family plan) -- then I'd say State sponsored insurance may be the way to go.

    Yea health insurance is a big problem when it comes to costs however do NOT stop paying for healthcare as one small surgery or trip to the emergency room can cost $1000 or wipe you out of everything you have. Does your wife have a healthcare plan?

    I have done IM fulltime for a long time and the healthcare thing is getting crazy. I am 33 with no health problems. Heck, knock on wood, but i haven't been to the doctor for anything other than a physical in years. I don't smoke, drink socially, no pre-existing conditions, slightly over weight, but no where near anything serious. i have a $25,000 deductible and I pay about $150 a month (just me) for what amounts to pretty much just major medical coverage. It sucks.

      many of the companies there offer a lower rate than i am currently paying. That rate holds for a few months and then it seems as though every time they send a bill, they also enclose a nice letter stating that the premiums are going up XX%.

    A $25.000 deductible, that is a high amount. I understand that with a deductible that high the premium is low. I have something similar, but only $7500.00.
