Health Insurance for Freelancers:

Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset - You!

Hey there, fellow independent worker! I'm Mark from Aura Insure, and after helping dozens of freelancers secure health coverage, I've learned one thing: your ability to work is your livelihood. Let's talk about protecting it.

Why Freelancers Need Health Insurance (Beyond the Obvious)

The Business Case for Coverage

• Access preventive care to stay productive

Real Talk: What Happens Without Coverage?

Sarah, a graphic designer I worked with, shared her story: "I thought I was saving money by skipping insurance. Then I got pneumonia. Two weeks of missed work and a $12,000 hospital bill later, I realized health insurance wasn't optional."
