Wanted: The Perfect Self Employed Health Insurance November 5, 2009
I have always been a woman of principles and hard work. I worked my way through college, saving every penny and taking all kinds of job that would fit in my schedule. Through perseverance, hard work and a lot of patience, I finally graduated a couple of years ago and got myself a terrific job; terrific at least salary and benefits-wise.
I was tasked to do a marketing plan for the company’s most controversial product. Controversial because analysis by environmentalists showed there is a high-risk that the product will cause harm in the environment in the long term. However, the said results weren’t conclusive and needed more studies to further support its findings. I was instructed to focus my marketing strategy towards discrediting the environmental group that conducted the study. I had a value dilemma. However, there were two things I was certain about when I first heard the assignment: one is that I don’t want to do it and second, that if I wouldn’t do it I will get fired, meaning goodbye amazing company health insurance and hello self-employed health insurance plan.
Deciding the right course for my situation was very difficult. If I stayed I need to forget my principles and if I leave I have to take the risk of ending up broke. But I had to make a decision, and guess what? I am now looking for my personal health insurance plan.
