NYCPHP Meetup

[jon baer]

Me and my wife are in your boat ...

I currently have a handful of projects/hockey/ebay/wireless, she has her
small business, and no insurance, I keep coming across this on the subway -
http://www.freelancersunion.org and have been looking at it.  I just dont
want to get sucked into anything and then find a decent fulltime gig ... we
are @ the point where both parttime incomes pays the rent but still can't
get past the ~$500 per month/each Oxford would like to have ...

You probably *save* money doing your own company like
phphealthinsurance.com, inc and hiring people just for the benefits :-)
Keep me posted.

- Jon

Subject: [nycphp-talk] OT: Health insurance

there

their

> would be interested in forming a group so we can go shopping for health
> insurance?  I'm really tired of writing such a large check each month.
