- Available with 1+ W-2 employees
- Potential Small Business Tax Credit
- More plan options than individual market
- Year-round enrollment windows

- Fast approval — often same day
- Lower premiums
- Great for coverage gaps
- Not a substitute for full coverage
Health sharing ministries are not insurance but allow members to share medical costs. Significantly lower monthly contributions — typically $200–$400/month — with some restrictions on qualifying expenses.

- Community-based model
- May exclude pre-existing conditions
Self-Employed? You Can Deduct 100% of Your Premiums
The IRS allows self-employed individuals to deduct health, dental, and qualifying long-term care insurance premiums for themselves, their spouse, and dependents. This is an above-the-line deduction — no itemizing required. That means real money back in your pocket every April.
Reduces your adjusted gross income directly — no need to itemize your federal taxes.
Deduction applies to premiums paid for you, your spouse, and dependent children up to age 26.
By lowering your AGI, you may indirectly reduce your self-employment tax liability as well.
Always consult a CPA or tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
