Q. Is there any difference between a health care plan that you can provide to a work at home/self-employed individual and a health care plan that you provide to an employed person?
![Page 8: How To Get Health Care For Virtual Assistants](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013122/55a928c71a28abbd768b475f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

A. There is no difference.
![Page 9: How To Get Health Care For Virtual Assistants](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013122/55a928c71a28abbd768b475f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Q. Is there a major obstacle in providing a health care plan for freelancers?
![Page 10: How To Get Health Care For Virtual Assistants](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013122/55a928c71a28abbd768b475f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
A. There is no obstacle for freelancers to get a health care plan.
![Page 11: How To Get Health Care For Virtual Assistants](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013122/55a928c71a28abbd768b475f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Q. I just know that some companies get discounts because of the volume of their employees. Does this mean freelancers will get it at a higher price?
![Page 12: How To Get Health Care For Virtual Assistants](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013122/55a928c71a28abbd768b475f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
What if we band together and form a group, will we also get a good discount for that, and how many people should that be?
![Page 13: How To Get Health Care For Virtual Assistants](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013122/55a928c71a28abbd768b475f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
A. That is true, volume drives costs. If you form a group of freelancers as one unit to purchase the Short term health care plans, you can get a discount.
![Page 14: How To Get Health Care For Virtual Assistants](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013122/55a928c71a28abbd768b475f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
However, for the Long Term Health care which is what we recommend we get into is for an individual and so volume does not matter. You can form a group of 10-40. The more the bigger discount.
