Is there any possibility your wife could take a job somewhere with insurance? Both times I've been self employed that's what we did. Full family coverage for ~ $400/month with a very low deductible.

Some part time gigs even offer (more expensive) insurance. Still less than self-employed rates.

Hi,

I am self employed and have gone without health insurance for a while. I
have been very healthy, with the exception of bouts of high blood
pressure and high cholesterol. I was told both could be treated with
diet and exercise. Both in place.

Here is my dilemma. I am older so I am more high risk. The best
insurance I can find cost close to $500/month for my wife and I and it
has a $3000 deductible for each of us. Basically we will be paying
$6000/year for catastrophic insurance and will pay $3000 for each of us
until the insurance kicks in. If we just have some preventative care, we
could end up spending upwards of $8000 a year without accessing the
Insurance.

Any suggestions from others who are self employed?

Thanks!
