However, if you are a self-employed entrepreneur, the options are limited. If you are leaving a corporate position, consider extending, your health care benefits with COBRA. This usually allows you to continue on the same health care policy you were on for about three years. However, you now will have to pay the entire premium on the policy. If your COBRA has expired or one is not available, you can consider contacting your state insurance department, which can supply a list of insurance companies that provide individual health care insurance. Policies that have higher deductibles can also be considered because of their lower premiums. For additional assistance in these matters it is recommended that the entrepreneur contact the Association of Health Insurance Agents, the Health Insurance Association of America, or the U.S. Labor Department, all located in Washington, D.C.
