Health Insurance for Contractors & Skilled Trades
You build things for a living with your body — and bodies break. No employer coverage, physical risk daily, income that follows the job calendar. The Marketplace plus the supplemental stack is the full answer.
The Short Version
Short answer: You build things for a living with your body — and bodies break. No employer coverage, physical risk daily, income that follows the job calendar. The Marketplace plus the supplemental stack is the full answer.
Estimating Your Income (the Part That Matters)
Your tax credit runs on estimated yearly MAGI. Start from last year's return, adjust for this year's reality, count every income stream, and update the application when things change. With 2027 repayment caps gone, an honest estimate protects you at tax time.
The Risk Nobody Talks About
This is the highest-injury civilian occupation group I work with. AccidentWise at the $20,000 tier is the first thing most contractors ask about — no medical underwriting, straightforward.
