Self-Employed Health Insurance Ideas?

One concern that I would NOT recommend,is the NASE.(Nat'l Assoc. for the Self Employed)
I was with them for a short time. They gave me the ol' "bait & switch". Very reasonable rates for a few months,then,all of a sudden,almost DOUBLE rates. I dropped 'em like the proverbial "warm spud". Now,being a senior,I'm w/ "Healthspring" (HMO) Very satisfied w/ it.(so far)

Thanks Smiley, I'll check out Healthspring. So far, in addition to the Texas Health Risk Pool, I've found that AARP and at least one Blue Cross/Blue Shield and a Golden Gate policy will waive the pre-existing condition clause with proof of at least 12 months of continuous coverage.

Healthcare is very expensive. The biggest reason for that is that Americans are "sue-happy".

Republican big-business-friendly clap-trap.

The trouble I have with our government getting involved in anything is things like them paying $600 for a hammer and $1000 toilet seats.

The government is so evil and stupid. B-o-ring. So what are we supposed to do, kill Medicare? Wanna see waste and corruption, try Enron.

I visited a friend of mine at The VA hospital the last couple of days. He's been there almost two weeks and they've found out the infection they're trying to get under control was caused by them! He tells me they haven't mopped the floor one time since he's been there. There's some of the government run healthcare in action.

And you can thank George W Bush for cutting VA funding along with everything else to fund his tax cuts for the rich and his bogus money-pit of a war in Iraq.
