Why ACA plans work well for the self-employed
When you work for yourself in South Carolina, you can buy your own ACA plan through HealthCare.gov and keep it as long as you like. You're not tied to a job, and you can choose the level of coverage that fits your needs and budget.
Every plan covers the essentials — doctor visits, prescriptions, preventive care, and emergencies — and no plan can deny you for a pre-existing condition.
Income that goes up and down
