I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I’d leave my current job behind and with it my family’s health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can’t afford any of the options I’ve seen. It’s the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health insurance for startups? If you’ve been in the same situation, what did you end up doing?

    There’s a few options.

    1. Get healthcare through your spouse.
    2. Start your business as a “side hustle” while maintaining your job for a while.
    3. Try to find help through a small business alliance or chamber of commerce. (You probably need employees to get any real benefits)
    4. Welcome to running a small business, everything is far more expensive than you thought.
