14 Work at Home Jobs That Offer Health Insurance

by

Are you in need of health insurance but still want to work from home? Are you finding that most work-at-home jobs do not offer health insurance? Are you always on the lookout for a better policy to replace your current one?

If so, you'll be happy to know this article shares and explores 14 companies that will hire you not only to work from home, but that also provide you with a few well-deserved benefits, including health insurance!

Why Don't Most Work-at-Home Companies Provide Health Insurance?

If you are used to having health insurance or had it when you worked outside the home, you may wonder why most work-at-home companies just do not offer health benefits. There are several reasons for this.

Traditionally in the late 1990's, work-at-home companies only hired workers to work as independent contractors, which means they were NOT employees and did not qualify for benefits of any kind—especially health insurance. Other work-at-home companies were only set up to offer freelance, contract or seasonal work.

However, now with more and more companies offering work-at-home positions, workers from the “old traditional workforce” naturally want health insurance.

How Do Most Home-Based Workers Find Health Insurance?

In the past two decades, most of those who worked at home “freelancing” depended on a spouse or partner (with traditional employment) to carry them on a health care policy.

Freelancers could also join The Freelancer's Union to gain not only health insurance, but also life insurance and retirement plans. Obama Care was also another option offered to the uninsured during the Obama Presidency (2008 to 2016).

Then there were retirees, who worked at home, that could also depend on an insurance policy as part of their retirement package, or if they were 65 or older they would have

Medicare with the option of adding a Medicare supplement. Anyone over 50 also could join the AARP and take advantage of their insurance policies, too.

The National Bankruptcy Forum states that medical debt is the number 1 reason most Americans will file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. With a statistic like this, it makes sense why workers want and need health insurance.
