When my co-founder and I were the only full-time folks at our startup, we subscribed to individual insurance plans with Blue Shield of California. We had some high deductible plans so we were covered in case of a major accident but had to pay our own way for everything else. I think it costed about $100 per person per month, which seemed like a steal. Fortunately, we did not end up incurring any major medical expenses while on that plan.
- pravda 13y agoYeah, that $100/month rate for healthy young males is going bye-bye. I'd guess equivalent coverage would be $250+ once Obamacare kicks in.
- sighxyzed 13y agoUhuh, except this isn't really the case (since BSCA already has next years premiums loaded in -- they're pretty much identical to 2013). On the flip side, and far more important, once Obamacare kicks in any would-be founder with a pre-existing condition can get health insurance.
