This is far more horrifying than mortgage, taxes, &c., and I don't see how I can continue it (I'm doing it now to avoid the dreaded lapse in coverage). Anybody have suggestions for cheaper health insurance available to the self-employed? (I'll almost certainly be living in western Massachusetts, for what that's worth.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.11707 Thu, 11 Nov 2004 19:10:05 -0800 healthcoverage healthplan selfemployment languagehat
