Jan 03, 2006 -- Sam's Club health care offer for members
If you own your own business and are self-employed, you probably know about the problems getting health care for yourself and your workers. Well, Clark has a solution for you. In response to Costco Wholesale offering health coverage in several states, Sams Club is now launching its own program in nearly all 50 states. The coverage is much less than other locations, including Costco, and there are several plans available. The Sams Club offering is designed to get people to buy the most expensive membership level, the Plus membership, in exchange for a large discount on health coverage. The information on Sams Web site is confusing, and you may have to go through medical underwriting. But the savings is worth it. Sams expects the most popular plan to be the one that has a $10,000 deductible. Yes, thats a lot. But most people in small business want only catastrophic coverage and very low premiums, so the plan is perfect. Most employers will cap your coverage if you have a complicated procedure or long-term illness, regardless of whether your medical bills are paid. You can also take the HSA or Health Savings Account route. You put your money into a tax-free savings account, which pays for your premiums each month. There are a variety of offerings, so its great for business owners. For more, go to samsclub.com and click on Member Services in the left rail. From there you want to click on Employee/Healthcare Services.
