How to Stay Healthy Without Insurance—Featuring Sesame, a Doctor-on-Demand Option That Fits Your Budget
For most W-2 workers, health insurance is often offered as part of a benefits package. But for gig workers—those driving for Uber, delivering with DoorDash, shopping with Instacart, or juggling multiple independent income streams—healthcare is anything but simple.
As a gig worker, benefits aren’t usually included as part of a package tied to your employment. You don’t get sick leave. And you definitely don’t have time to spend hours dealing with potentially confusing insurance paperwork or surprise bills.
At Solo, we know that one of the biggest stressors facing gig workers today is how to take care of your health without breaking the bank. That’s why we’re spotlighting a new kind of healthcare solution built for gig workers and the independent workforce: Sesame.
As a valued Solo member, you can access high-quality healthcare at an even more affordable rate. Sesame offers a 20% discount on your first telehealth appointment—no insurance required. Book same-day virtual visits with top-rated providers and experience transparent pricing with no surprise bills. Use code SOLO20 at checkout to claim your discount. Start your journey to accessible healthcare today!
Getting Healthcare Doesn’t Have to Be Confusing
The flexibility of gig work is unmatched. You can work when you want, take time off when you need it, and stack multiple jobs to meet your time and income goals. But when it comes to healthcare, it can feel overwhelming and daunting to find solutions that meet your unique needs.
Here’s the reality:
- Individual plans are expensive. Premiums can run $400–$800/month before you hit the deductible.
- One unexpected doctor’s appointment, urgent care visit, or hospital trip can be expensive – even with traditional insurance.
- Time off work = lost income. There’s no paid sick leave in the gig economy.
So how can you stay healthy without insurance and without high healthcare costs? That’s where Sesame comes in.
