2026 Health Insurance Shake-Up:
Self-Employed & Small Business Owner Open Enrollment Strategies
Free Webinar | October 28 at 12 PM PT ( 3 PM ET)
This year’s significant health insurance changes will impact your costs, coverage, and access. The One Big Beautiful Bill is reshaping the individual and small business health insurance market, driving up costs and pushing insurers out of the exchanges. This goes far beyond the end of ACA subsidies.
The choices you make as a business owner this November will directly affect your finances, and determine what care you and your team can actually access.
