When I left my Silicon Valley tech job after 15 years to start my own business, one of my main concerns was how to buy health care coverage for my family. Access to health care coverage simply isn’t a concern when you work for a Fortune 500 company competing to offer the best benefits packages to attract top talent.

As a financial planner who specializes in working with self-employed individuals, I see how health care can be a roadblock if you’re considering launching from salaried security. Freelancers, contractors, job seekers, and those wanting to take a break from conventional work life or retire early worry about how to access comprehensive and affordable coverage.

This month during open enrollment, I interview Ariana Brill, a healthcare advocate who also has a law degree and MBA. After her own frustrations witnessing her partner struggle to get health insurance, she opened her own business helping individuals in California navigate their options and enroll in coverage. She shares with us the latest on accessing healthcare through Covered California for coverage in 2024.
