Self employment is the big difference. There are agencies that deal with freelancers and others that hire people as employees and send them to client sites. I’ve worked for both kinds but when they offered benefits they weren’t that great. I remember literally laughing out loud when I read one benefits brochure - the insurance cost like $3k a year and had an annual coverage ceiling of $7k. Maybe enough to cover one ambulance ride and ER visit lol.
Yeah I worked for a prestigious hospital years back, but through a contracting company so I couldn’t even get medical from the hospital I worked at.
Eventually I got coverted over to an actual employee of the hospital, but I still couldn’t afford their coverage because I wasn’t making enough at the time lol.

Our medical industry is so fucked.
Our medical system is fucked, but the Freedom feels so great doesn’t it?
