FYI to those who cannot access the SOMBI thread below:
HEALTH INSURANCE FOR THE SELF-EMPLOYED
Of major concern to all Americans, the cost of health insurance for the self-employed is a big-ticket security item which many fear will sink the ship.
Health Insurance for the self-employed will be the topic of SOMBI’s Thursday, March 13th meeting, 7 PM, 304 Elmwood Avenue, Maplewood, NJ, USA. RSVP to info@sombi.com or 973-761-1774
SOMBI’s March Speaker, Eileen Shrem, is an Independent Insurance Agent specializing in "people" Insurance. (She represents the self-employed on the Individual Health Program Board of the Dep't of Insurance). Ms. Shrem will discuss strategies for dealing with the NJ Health Insurance System such as forming an insurance group.
If you are a husband and wife in a business – you can become a group. If you are working with others – proper use of 1099s allows you to function as a group. If you are completely independent – there are high deductible options offered in NJ which can be tied into a national discount program recommended by Ms. Shrem.
"Health Insurance for the self-emloyed in New Jersey is becoming unaffordable. There are over 6,000 different plans and the Insurance Companies are continuously looking at ways to lower premiums. These changes will be discussed." Eileen Shrem.
There is still hope. Come and learn.

The South Orange Maplewood Business Incubator (aka SOMBI) is a grass roots effort among entrepreneurs to help each other succeed in business. SOMBI'S mission is to provide "networking, mentoring, support, infrastructure and a communal physical presence" for a wide variety of businesses, even some that local men and women are starting in their basements, cellars, and living rooms. SOMBI was born in response to today's challenging economy and represents a resurgence of entrepreneurial spirit, born out of necessity, among the former employees of corporate America.
