      Self Employed Health Insurance is Different

      In a time when there is a certain amount of uncertainty in the wider economy, and even though we are not facing anything like massive unemployment, or anything too drastic, it is the case that there is a lot less hiring these days. This is leading many people to look toward going into themselves. After all the more control that you have over your destiny the better, you know which decisions will have the most impact [positive or negative on your situation].

      But as was said in the title Self Employed Health Insurance is a different beast from any other corporate form of healthcare provision, from SMEs to huge corporations. It can be very difficult to find the right sort of health insurance for just one person who potentially is at the centre of the whole business than [if you pardon the expression] a cog in the machine. For example for the policy to be truly worthwile it would need to cover both the cost of any missing wages plus any expence incurred in keeping the business going [or at least viable in the time being].

      The only way it can be done is to read every single different policy available and go through them all with a fine toothcomb and eventually find the best out of the lot

      No room for mystics!

      Believe it or not, I used to follow my daily horoscope. Sometimes (very occasionally) the horoscope was accurate. But I think it's fair to say that the future is necessarily unpredictable - that's half the fun. The FTSE never quite behaves the way anyone expects. And if it could be predicted, everyone would be rich - and while that would be great, it remains the material of daydreams.

      In an unpredictable world though, there are thankfully some cushions and safety nets that we can rely on without the need for prescience or a mystical third eye. Many of these, such as pensions, savings and whatonot are second nature to us. But while they are great to have, we also need a cushion against the unforeseen/ unforeseeable. So while it's great to watch a small pile of savings grow, or a pension fund (hopefully) perform, we also need insurance. As self-employment looks to be a more attainable option for many of us in the coming years, and with growing numbers already joining the ranks of the self employed, it's time to think about self employed health insurance. A little peace of mind can go a long way. And as being self-employed is often an enjoyable challenge, it's good to know that some things will always be there to assist.
