Hey freelancers! Are you doing your own doctoring? Need some enlightening health insurance advice?
The Access to Health Insurance/Resources for Care site may be able to help you out. The lowdown:
"The AHIRC database was created in 1998 by The Actors' Fund of America, with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, as a health insurance resource for artists and people in the entertainment industry. Since then, with support from The Commonwealth Fund, it has expanded to include resources for the self-employed, low-income workers, the under-insured, the uninsured who require medical care and many other groups."
This thing is very helpful, it has lots of info and is easy to understand.
Thanks, actors!

I just went through several rounds of Chemo for an easy to beat cancer. Plus I need to do a bit of radiation therapy.
Having a PPO plan rather than an HMO plan allowed me to stay within the hospital system I chose and to be treated by the doctors that were recommended to me.
A few years ago, my health carrier was suggesting going with an HMO plan to save money. I am very glad I chose to stay within my plan.
My 5K deductible looks cheap now compared to what my coverage is taking care of through the end of the year.
I pay a co-pay plus I met the 5K requirement.
This is a plan available to freelancers. I am incredibly grateful that I have carried this insurance for years plus I have a carried disability on myself since 1987.
You need to have medical insurance.
for such cure you might need a health insurance if you could have done it before.
