I hereby retract everything good I've ever said about Kaiser. After
ten days of dealing with their (mis) treatment of my partner's mother,
I now officially decree that they are the most stupid and incompetent
bunch of fools on earth.
Hope you didn't buy from them based on my recommendation.

I pay my estimated tax quarterly, so it still sits in the IRS coffers,
although admittedly a bit after it would if they deducted it from a
weekly paycheck.
Most companies that use contractors are trying to avoid the cost of
benefits. I'd prefer to work corp-to-corp rather than W2 or 1099, but

The big reason that the IRS likes W-2 employees over 1099 is that the
tax withholding comes out before the money goes to the employee.
Easier to collect, more reliable and the money sits in the government
coffers. With 1099, they are relying upon the tax payer to save up the
money they'll owe in t

It won't. What you mention is pure misinformation.
Insurance companies will still provide health insurance, that is the basis for
the reform. Even it it went to a full single payer system, insurance companies
would still be providing some form of health insurance. For instance in Canada

When you start getting down into details, you need to figure out your
precise situation. There are time/hour/place tests in different states
are different and if you are concerned, you can always talk to a
lawyer. Here's what the IRS says (which is not necessarily the final
word but a good start)

I checked out ehealthinsurance.. I'm always afraid I'm going to choose the
wrong insurance, either not have something covered, or covered enough heh.

As far as when I work, this person probably isn't too concerned, just as

duration.. "long term job relationship"

I also used ehealthinsurance.com a different times in the day. I found
family plans for $400-500 a month with a $2,000 or 3,000 deductible.
Good insurance unless you need expensive tests than you need to cover
the deductible.
I also couldn't find any company that covers birth outside of a group
Thanks for all the information guys!

A lot of this depends on where you live. In California, it has become very
difficult for self-employed people to get proper insurance. OBGYN and
children's policies are especially difficult. For men without special health
