Thread 'Business Owners - Health Insurance Help?'

Tuesday at 10:29 AM

For those who own their own business, I'd love to hear how to possibly save money on health insurance. Here is our situation:

My wife and I each have our own separate small businesses. We have two children (13yrs & 16yrs). We currently have Kaiser Pemanente and already pay roughly $1k per month. Next year we are looking at a monthly expense of $1600/mo and with the shittiest coverage possible ($9200 individual and $18500 family deductible).

We are both healthy adults and kids are also. We do use our health coverage, but not nearly to the amount that we are paying. Going without...

From SSA page.
You can apply up to 4 months before your enrollment month.

Thanks!,

I obviously could have looked that up - DUH. But you guys have been a great resource, thanks for being helpful.

I’m 61 1/2 now and I’m definitely taking it at 62 for sure. An extra $25k per year now will allow me to do some fun activities (hunting) and trips (hunting) while I still have the energy and health to do them (hunting)!

I completed my SS phone application this week. I turn 62 early Feb and the lady said Ill get my 1st check in the 2nd Wed in April. You need a full month AFTER your birthday to collect benefits

Also, you can select 4 different options to have FED taxes taken out - 7%, 10%, 12%, 22%
