Any recommendations for health insurance as a solo operator?

All the Right Wing knuckleheads will scream and yell, but the AHCA Market helps in this situation. Choose what is best for you.

Yep. My wife and I are both self-employed. We are lucky to live in a state with a very robust private (non-employer sponsored) healthcare marketplace, made possible by the so-called “Obamacare” legislation and having a state government that most times does what it can to actually help people.

It’s expensive, five figures. I spent my whole career owning a small business and raising a family. That’s simply the way it is in the States. You’ll get to like Obamacare. I wish it was around when I was raising my family.
Make it a business expense, and that will help reduce your income taxes.

being self employed most of my adult life I was self insured, I found affordable policys easily through an insursance broker until the affordable health care act came out and then the lowest rate i could get was close to 3 times what I was paying previously…fortunately at that time I recieved a letter from the veterans administration telling me that due to my military service I was entitled to reasonable health care…so I guess You could serve a hitch in one of uncle sams great adventure clubs,

If I’m not mistaken, one can do that by filing as a C-Corp, correct? Do you know of any way if filling as an LLC?

At the LLC’s annual meeting, vote to include health insurance for members.

We did it as an LLC. We called it a benefit and paid the premium from our business checkbook. As with most businesses, we had one or more audits and it passed muster.

Thank you all for the responses
The United States of America experiences the worst health outcomes overall of any high-income nation. Americans are more likely to die younger, and from avoidable causes, than residents of peer countries. Now they want to help the richest 1% avoid taxes by offsetting that sectors burden on the lowest and mid income earners.
Good old USA. Makes sense to me.

There are no peer countries, only subsidiaries under American protection. Once the scales are rebalanced, an American economic and social renaissance will ensure America is the envy of the world as the last harbor of safety and the greatest bastion of freedom in existence. Meanwhile, we watch in real time “western” civilizations deteriorate into bloated hegemonic governments rife with censorship, tyranny and war.
Once again, America pulls ahead.

You are completely nuts, off the walls bananas, if you believe that nonsense you just spouted.
Your government spend money like candy, Trump added almost 8 trillion to your debt, and rewrite treaty rules before the old rules are finished.
America is not the envy of the world at this time. You are becoming a Russian talking machine.
World order will be rewritten but America will be no where to be seen, and excluded, by the truly united nations.
Understandably foolish to think like that. Knowing whom you are, I forgive you..

Oh, is there where I am supposed to cite the NACHI Code of Ethics? I believe this is your go to comment

Btw, you did a good job hijacking this thread and not answering the OP’s question or even making a decent contribution. TDS strikes again!

??? Sure I did. Come to Canada.
Yeah, that was helpful..after 3-5 years. It would be helpful if he entered as a migrant, they are favored over citizens and port of entry persons, just like the USA…SMH.
However, non-residents, such as tourists or temporary workers, are not eligible for free healthcare. They may need to purchase private health insurance to cover medical expenses.
Living 45 miles, err 70 KM south of the border, I of course have a number of Canadin friends. What you say is definitely the Canadian attitude, and rightly so. For someone from the States, getting out of this country, err out of the bubble, provides a truth based perspective of how things in fact are outside the bubble.
Back to the original topic, or continue the rant.
