What should self-employed people do now? Start learning as much as you can. Will your state be operating the exchange, or will it be the federal government? If you have health insurance and you’re self-employed, call your carrier and confirm whether the plan is grandfathered in—whether the plan qualifies for minimum coverage requirements—so you know if you need to buy coverage or not. If you don’t have coverage now, you’ll need to look at purchasing something, or find out what the penalties are for going without. I’d be ready to price it all out. Open enrollment is Oct. 1 through March 31, but there’s no reason you can’t price it all out now.
