Hello,

I have a question about the healthcare insurance in US.

I have heard that it is tied to your employment and the company provides for it.

So here are a couple of questions:

Is there no way for an individual to get their own personal insurance and not be dependent on the company?
What about freelancers, business owners and retirees? Do they forfeit their insurances?

My state offers free insurance. I pay for my own insurance, so I've never used it, but most of the people I know use it and like it.
