*** A response to Deborah Corey’s question about insurance for independents:
Hi, Ned —
Re Deborah Corey's inquiry on health insurance in the current JOTW, she may
want to check out mediabistro.com and freelancersunion.org, both of which
offer health insurance plans for self-employed communicators. I haven't
used either of these since I'm fortunate to be on my spouse's health plan,
but I have read case studies saying that the plans offered by these groups
are more cost-effective than trying to buy insurance on your own.
Deborah may also want to see if a local chamber of commerce or other
business group offers low-cost insurance to members. Here on Long Island,
for example, the Long Island Association (the largest business group) does
offer such a plan and it's not all that expensive for an independent
communicator to join the group. If I recall, at one point they were offering
access to the plan even without a full LIA membership.
A university alumni association might be another place to check for low-cost
insurance.
As always, I enjoy the newsletter. You provide a great service to
professionals in our field.
Best,
David
