The difficulty is in the employer end of things. I'm not a regular full
time employee anywhere, I'm part time employee and part time on my own.
That knocks me out of employer healthcare. And  HSA nad HRA and all the
others, as far as I can tell. My accountant and I have been 'round on this
before.  I'm on my own, buying full cost healthcare as an individual. Boo.
 :(
