Frost and Remer discusses practical health Insurance options for self-employed workers.
Brownstown Twp, MI – “One of the most difficult challenges of the self-employed demographic is purchasing health insurance,” discusses a local Brownstown Twp health insurance company. Frost & Remer, a locally based service provider, shares the practical ways to gain health insurance for self-employed.
“Before, health insurance is hard to obtain especially for those with pre-existing conditions. Unless they purchase coverage through a spouse, they won’t have enough to cover their needs.” Frost & Remer shares through its website, http://insurancebyfrost.com. However, the changes laid out by the Affordable Care Act offer Patient Protection. In the reformed health insurance law, it has become possible for the self-employed to gain health coverage even with pre-existing conditions.
“Even though health insurance is made available to everyone, including the self-employed. However, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be cheap,” adds Frost & Remer. The lowest coverage, which is under Bronze, will cost $4,500-$5,000 for each individual and probably $12,000-$12,500 per family by 2016. The costs will be rising after that year.
In order to assist lower and middle income families, a premium assistance credit is provided for those who will purchase directly from the state’s Health Insurance Marketplace. The federal government will pay directly to the insurers and is given to those whose income is within the 100-400% of the federal poverty line.
One can say that credit can be substantial, especially for those paying for Silver of Gold plans. There are also subsidies for co-payments and out-of-pocket medical expenses for those who are under the 250% of the federal poverty level. These significant changes are created to stimulate the health insurance for self-employed sector and for everyone to be covered with practical health policies.
This 2014, all Americans must possess at least minimal health coverage, or they will have to pay a penalty. Companies with 100 or more employees, the mandate will take effect in 2015. For the self-employed, whether they are a sole proprietor, in a partnership or under a limited liability company, it is a must that they have acquired health insurance enrollment by March 31.
