Healthcare - trader

[dividend]

How do most traders that do not work "for" a firm obtain health insurance? -- Especially independent traders not in a prop group. How can I estimate how much my premiums will be?

I have always had healthcare through an employer, so this is all new to me.

Thanks

I've never had a real job in my life. I just called up and got insurance. I have very basic insurance and pay $100 / momth

Just google a couple of insurance brokers in your area and ask them for quotes. Prices will vary widely depending on where you live and your age, health, weight, etc.

Check with the local chamber of commerce they may have plans for the self employeed at group rates.
