5 Apr 2010My husband is self employed. Our health insurance is way too expensive for us to afford. We need to have health insurance because we have a young daughter.
We recently applied for medicare through the state. Does anyone know if being self employed will affect our eligibility? Generally how long does it take for a response? We are from Rhode Island. Thanks!
This is about reference of insurance questions information.

depends on how much he makes, you have to stay with in a certain income range to collect it, but i believe that as long as you have a child under the age of 19 you will be able to get medical for your daughter, and if you make to much they might just ask you to pay a monthly premium.

I don’t know, but if you get turned down, look into health insurance with a high deductible. We had a $5000 deductible per person (or $10,000 total) and paid only $120 per month for the three of us. That way you’re covered in case you suddenly need to spend $300,000 on a quintuple bypass or some stuff. You’d have to pay for minor things yourself though.

healthplans.my-age.net – my family have this health insurance. It is affordable and has good coverage for dental issues.
