When I was a consultant, I could not find a health insurance plan that was even vaguely the equal of my current job's health insurance. Not too expensive, but simply not offered.

That's not to say that job insurance is automatically good -- the job I had before being a consultant had worse health insurance that was a little worse than the plans I had as a consultant.

My plan next time I'm doing any kind of c2c type work will be to setup with trinet or another similar company to handle payroll benefits, even if it is just me.

You'd still have GP's problem of not finding any decent health insurance offered for a single-employee business. Google "adverse selection."

The health insurance would be from TriNet (not a single-employee business). There are similar collective businesses.
