Current Health Laws Supress the Spirits of Self-employeed Posted: 07-21-05 11:17am
The current health care system in the u.S.
Suppresses the entrepreneurial spirit of
the self-employed. Why should I start
this business, why should I invent this
product. The health insurance companies
and criminal lawyers will steal my profits
for themselves!

You are the one who is wrong. How many
small company owners can afford the
premiums that would cover the procedures
you mention? My guess is "not
many"...........If they also want to feed
their families.

You are obviously one of those leeches who
works for the government. You have your
health insurance paid by the "other"
citizens of the us. Get a grip man, wake
up and realize that the lawyers and
criminal insurance compaines have devised
a legal method in the past 25 years to
steal from the self employeed. You are
the one who is mis-informed. Do you know
what it is like to make $40k a year and
pay $990.00 month for your health
insurance? Do you know what it is like
to lay in bed at night and feel the terror
of not knowing if you will be able to pay
it the next month. I advocate that all
americans get together and stop paying
their health insurance. Send the
message! We are sick and tired of having
our pockets raided! We want change,
now!

I have been in the same boat--i never did
find a plan for self-employeed that I
could afford. Never did find a private
plan that would cover pre-existing
conditions for a price I could afford, or
with medical care I need. I think bush
is on the right track and I think everyone
should be able to get medical care
regardless. Just free clinics in all
towns, would be a start. Let me see, I
have to frquent the er many times for just
mediocre, medical treatment cuz I cant
afford to pay for office visit and then
prescriptions too.They either dont believe
you, say your trip was not an
emergency(even though private dr would say
it is), or send you home still wanting,
much much more.
My husband just started getting 60,000 a
year , barely got our stuff caught up and
then the business dissolved. (1 1/2
months)but I was seriously looking for
some kind of help to no avail.

Hey guys:
interesting comments, but I was curious
whether those who are self employed are
aware of the hra 105? It's a labor code
law that allows self-employed individuals
who qualify to deduct all of their health
insurance premiums, plus prescriptions,
doctor's visits, mileage to the doctor,
etc.

How about somebody age 70 who has
immigrated here recently, self-employed,
and is turned down by every health plan, I
was willing to pay a good monthly fee?
Not eligable for medicare for another 9
years. If something expensive happens to
my health they would be able to take my
home. Well, I guess that would be death
for me.
I am hearing horror stories where older
couples have to divorce when one of them
has to go to a nursing home. This way the
other can remain in the house. Divorce
has also been suggested by someone working
for v.A. So that husband can get a v.A.
Pension. I think our divorce statistics
have alot to do with that.
As for my own dilemna I have taken out
annual travel insurance with a 2500.-
deductible. They would pay up to 50,000.-
if something happens. I can renew this if
there was no claim. The cost was 1700.-
per year. At least this is peace of mind
for me.
So the best thing to do is to listen to
your body and study about prevention and
diet, alternative remedies and take
advantage of any free tests offered by
clinics as I found out about sugar in my
blood and changed my lifestyle.
