I don't have a benefits package where I work so I pay for my health insurance out of pocket $200 a month. Can I deduct it on my personal tax return? I haven't in the past but I never questioned my tax preparer about it and he or she never asked
--------------------
The 2 above posters are correct about being able to deduct your premiums as an itemized deduction subject to the 7.5% AGI limitiation. However, you may be able to deduct 100% of your health insurance premiums IF you have any self employed income to show for the tax year. IF you do have self employed net income then you can take an above the line tax deduction for 100% of you and your family's health insurance premiums (but you can't use the deduction to give yourself a loss for your schedule C or wherever else you are putting your SE income).

How Do I Get Health Insurance?
I'm thinking of leaving my job to go freelance in California. I have no idea where to even start to look for a private health insurance plan. I have a preexisting condition, so I'd probably be turned down for most regular plans. Should I look for an independent broker? I've looked online and it's impossible to find one. Does anyone know SPECIFICALLY where to go and what to do?

Do I have 3 months after my last day being covered by health insurance to sign up for Cobra?
I will lose my health insurance for one month (Dec) secondary to reduced hours a month ago. If I don't pay the Cobra premimium right away, can I pay it at a later date if I need the insurance (ie, I break my leg or something major) and be covered?
--------------------
No, you have 30 days to make up your mind, once the paperwork is sent to you. Your employer has 60 days to send you the paperwork, but most send it within a week. If you take it, you have to pay back to day one. If you decline it, you lose the opportunity forever. You can't "pay later". And it doesn't save you anything to wait the whole 30 days, because if, say, it's two months later, you ahve to pay for the prior two months AND the next month, all at once, or it's cancelled.

Why are you Liberals so eager to pay for my health insurance?
I keep seeing it: "I don't like the idea of people not being able to afford health insurance." Well, neither do I. I can't afford it, so I don't have it. E-mail me and I'll provide you an address to send your payments to, I think I might want to see a chiropractor next week. Thanks so much, guys!

Because paying for your health insurance now is a lot less expensive than paying for you if you get sick or hurt. But that doesn't mean I'm going to pay for your individual care. That's not how it works, and you know it.

I'm recently married and need to get my wife and myself some health insurance. I'm self employed. She works at Home Depot. We can probably get something through her work, but is there any option at all what I might use my home based business to put her and myself under some protection?

If you're promised health insurance upon hire, and other full-time employees at your workplace are given health insurance, is there legal recourse if your employer doesn't follow through?
