Plans designed specifically for 1099s and Business Owners.
Americans get health insurance through Obamacare. If you qualify for a tax credit based on income, this can be a good option. What about the rest of us?
There are plans out there specifically designed for independent contractors and small businesses, just like you.

You already pay an arm and a leg for care. Does your plan give you any road to pay zero for a surgery, imaging, or a procedure? Maybe it's time for a new plan.

Hear it from Clearwater and Forge members: There's lots to love.
“I am so grateful for the outstanding support Forge has provided me and my family. Curtis is extremely knowledgeable about the plans and benefits, and has been a tremendous help guiding me to the best options for our needs.”
“Clearwater took the burden off my shoulders - I'm paying $12,000 less a year for a health plan. Under the old pricing I always felt I was taking care of one thing and hurting another.”
“They took the time to listen and help us explore what would work best. Within two months we'd saved enough to cover a month's premium. I highly recommend an honest look at your healthcare.”
If you've decided moving on is the best course of action for you and your family, we're here for you. Sometimes the "best plan" isn't the best plan for you.
Over 10 years of insurance experience and access to all major carriers. No being pushed into a one-size-fits-all plan or stuck with one carrier.
What's right for your next-door neighbor isn't necessarily right for you. We find the plan that fits your needs and priorities.
Have doctors you see regularly? Haven't started looking? We'll help you find a plan for either situation.
We assess every medication you and your family take, so you have the info to weigh the cost and the benefit.
More than you'd think. You're not stuck paying full sticker price on the marketplace. There are ACA-compliant plans you can buy off-exchange year-round, plans built for people above the subsidy line, and health-share options, each with real tradeoffs. For folks over about $60k who fit the profile, we regularly find comparable or better access for 15 to 30 percent less. We'll show you which one actually fits how you use care.
It might. The enhanced subsidies expired at the end of 2025, so the old "subsidy cliff" is back: above roughly 400 percent of the poverty line, most people get no premium tax credit again. If you were counting on help and it disappeared, that's exactly the moment an off-marketplace plan built for your income can win. We'll run your actual numbers, not last year's.
Usually. Tell us the doctors and specialists you want to keep and we check each one against the exact plan before you enroll. A PPO covers care outside a narrow network, so "out of network" almost never means "not covered." It means a different cost share, and we walk you through it.
We check the plan's drug list for everything you take before you sign, so the pharmacy counter isn't a surprise. And here's the part most agents skip: cash tools like Cost Plus Drugs and GoodRx sometimes beat your insurance copay, especially on generics. We'll tell you when paying cash is the cheaper move.
It can be either, depending on what fits, and we always tell you exactly which one you're looking at. A health share is not insurance. It has no legal obligation to pay a claim, and pre-existing conditions are limited. We never blur that line, because the difference can cost you.
Most small businesses and solo-preneurs overpay for underperforming 401(k) plans and don't realize it. Here's how better structure and smarter tax strategy change the outcome.
