Providing Health Insurance to Those Who Are Self-Employed
Independence Signifies Accountability The independence and accountability involved in working for one's self is difficult to comprehend with or resentful when one has to take into consideration unexpected happenings which may put a halt to that business.
For example, if you are a sole proprietor and you fall sick, this may have a heavy effect on the functioning of your business.
Over the years, the administration has constantly thought of ways to redress the issue of soaring medical costs all over in the United States.
It has been usual for employers to provide some sort of insurance to take care of the health of their workers.
This has often been used by employers as a way of pulling work force to them.
Although this is something commendable, it is not usually taken as part of the employee's real income.
Thus, there is more that should be added if an employee will want to get additional coverage under any health insurance scheme.
For this reason, the cost of health insurance is always thought of as something expensive.
The above scenario may not be too bad for those employed by others.
On the other hand, those who provide employment for themselves are far more in a disadvantageous position.
Remember that corporations will not face the difficulties involved in claiming total health insurance cost beside their taxable income as the self employed will do.
In most cases, they can only be able to claim only a fraction of this.
Today, it is possible that the whole of what the self employed contributes towards health insurance can be taken directly from income that is liable to tax.
There Is No Encouragement to Those Who Are Self Employed What is known about the type of health insurance in California that is provided to the self employed is that the cost of this is far greater than what ordinary employers will make available for their employees.
In fact, the value of what these corporations pay for their employees is just a quarter of what the self employed contribute.
This is one of the principal reasons why almost a third of those who are self employed will stay uninsured.
One of the only way in which such persons will be covered under any health insurance scheme is to be covered from any scheme that provides coverage to their spouses.
Nevertheless, it has been advocated that a collective and unified health scheme could be implemented in which a fixed sum will be contributed by all.
Although this will also mean that an extra charge will be levied on employers and the self employed, what the self employed will pay will be a faction of what they are now paying to get health insurance.
It should be kept in mind that those who are self employed and even small businesses will benefit from this.
But with an increment in minimum pay, they may no longer have the benefit of this.
This will still fall back to the conclusion that the cost of health insurance for the self employed and small businesses will still be very expensive.
Throughout the years, there has been a lot of distress suffered by the self employed and sole proprietors of small businesses, and this has been through some form of deceptive insurance practices always taken up by either illegal or unscrupulous insurers and their agents.
For example, under the Blue Shield, every employer is obliged to register at least 75% of its employers under the health insurance program.
This was never done by the Californian Association of Realtors which caused the whole association to forfeit any coverage it was open to benefit from.
For this reason, the central administration has enacted very severe requirements for insurers to heed to.
But it has given the various states or jurisdictions the authority to come up with their own rules and regulations such as those that will put those who are self employed on a better position in relation to health insurance.
