Buy some health insurance like they did before Obamacare?

@hippyjoe1955: And what if premiums are greater than you can afford do you just die on the street?

@Dlrannie: Get a better paying job. Start your own business.

@hippyjoe1955: Theoretically a brilliant idea but in real terms the higher paid jobs don't appear to exist. Starting a business requires Capital and if you can't afford Health Insurance you are unlikely to have any

@Dlrannie: You don't need capital to start your own business. You need drive.

@hippyjoe1955: So how do you pay for stock or premises if you not a computer genius with a garage?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Dlrannie: Not all businesses need stock or premises or even a garage.
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@hippyjoe1955: Do name those types of business - I would be fascinated as to what they might be?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Dlrannie: Labour businesses, Service businesses.

@hippyjoe1955: Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't many (if not most) labor and service businesses require either liability insurance or bonding in case of an incident?

I know that in NYS, you are required to have a license to do most contracting work.

@Antoniuspoe: Not really to start. Once you have a few contracts under your belt you can pay for insurance. It isn't that expensive.
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@hippyjoe1955: And what if your required to produce the insurance certificate before you get the job
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Dlrannie: Keep looking for the job that doesn't require it or else ask if you can work under the contractors insurance like I did.
