Do you have health insurance? Some believe it's not necessary or may be too expensive, but as entrepreneurs, there are many reasons why it's critical to have some level of coverage for you, and even your staff. Scott Dowling, insurance broker and host of Doxcost, breaks down the misconceptions around health insurance and how to find an affordable policy. Scott shares how health insurance has changed over the years and what our options are for health insurance as a sole-proprietor. We also discuss exactly what an HSA is and why it's one of the best ways to get coverage for less.
