Health Insurance Options for the Self-Employed

Today's episode dives into a hotly debated topic in physician employment: 1099 work. We're joined by Tod Stillson, who brings an enthusiastic case for why independent contracting and self employment can open doors and empower doctors in ways traditional employment often doesn't. Dr. Dahle offers a thoughtful counterpoint, questioning just how impactful 1099 status really is for most physicians. It's a friendly, engaging conversation with plenty of respectful debate, and we think listeners on both sides of the issue will find something to appreciate—and maybe even reconsider.
