[quote=AN]BG, I had HMO before and I went to both Sharps and Scripps. So, you don’t have to get Kaiser’s HMO. I’m not self employed, so I don’t have to worry about self-employing. However, my point is, freelancers tend to get paid about 80-100% higher than their W-2 counter part. That 80-100% extra pay is supposed to be for paying for these insurance and such. If you don’t want to deal with that, you can try and get a job at a corporation then. They’ll take care of your health insurance for you.

The bolded part. It isn’t true in most industries for the equivilent of full time work. In health care, for instance, it tends to be 10% more at the top of the scale.
