Healthcare for 1099's

In orthopedics, many reps are hired as 1099 independent contractors thru distributors. Linvatec does, as well as companies such as Zimmer, Arthrex, Smith & Nephew and others.

As a 1099, reps are responsible for buying their own insurance. I came across a site that provides quotes from multiple companies that could be a good source of information.
