Being self-employed gives you the freedom to shape your future and lifestyle. The disadvantage is not having a company paid a medical plan for costly out-of-pocket expenses.

Buying a medical plan is a smart way to fill the gap between those medical expenses that occur, but are not covered by a provincial health plan. You can select from health only or health and dental coverage.

These benefits may include Extended Health benefits, Vision Care, Prescription Drugs, Dental Care, and Semi-Private or Private hospitals.
