TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In my experience, clients will sometimes pay a stipend for health insurance,
over and above the agreed amount for the job. Anon might try this strategy
during negotiation. It would help to have a health care provider lined up
so he/she would know costs beforehand.

Illegal. You can only be added to a company's health care coverage if you
are an employee. If the carrier finds out that you are not an employee, you
risk losing the coverage and being billed at full-cost for any claims. The
company also risks losing coverage for all employees as well as
civil/criminal fines.
