Is there any way to get benefits for cheap?

Question

I have a really crappy job that isn't even giving me full time. Even if they gave me full time and let me sign up for benefits, they pay so little that I'd be left with basically no money. So...is there any way to get cheapier benefits? Or free benefits (if possible)? =/

Answer 1

benefits, such as health insurance, aren't cheap.  that's why most small businesses don't offer them.  as an individual subscriber to health insurance, expect to pay more than an employer who gets group rates.  even if you're in excellent health, expect to pay big money.

the best thing is to look for a job that offers benefits.

good luck!

Answer 2

Since you have a crappy job that is not meeting your needs you should look for a different job that you you would be happier with.  Many companies offer full coverage.

If you pay for health insurance yourself it runs about 300 a month.
