1. For those who are self employed, your health insurance premiums may be tax-deductible. You may also be entitled to a tax break if your employer offers a flexible spending account.

To confirm this in your case ask your tax professional. This will help you know for sure what will give you a tax break and what won't.

2. You can make reasonable savings on health insurance in some states if you run a home business. States that offer this opportunity have laws that demand that insurers give home business owners the same rates as they do big businesses.

Having just one employee qualifies a home business for such low rates in a number of states. You can have your spouse or older kid work as an employee.

Furthermore, you'll still be eligible if that single employee works only part time. This option gives lower rates because group rates are normally lower than rates for individuals.

To know if you qualify or even if Nevada has such a provision, call the state's department of insurance.

The self-employed (or anyone else for that matter) can get lower rates by getting and comparing individual Nevada health insurance quotes from not less than five quotes sites. There are just too many health insurance carriers out there and since each has a different rate for your profile, you'll do well to get quotes from as many of them as possible. That is if you want the most affordable individual Nevada health insurance quote.
