http://www.asbaonline.org/ Some goverments provide group insurance for small business owners. Various small business associations provide group coverage. The group coverage is not cheap, but the coverage is better since you are pooled. Pooled coverage makes is much more difficult for your insurance company to arbitrarily raise premiums or drop your policy. In the end, you are probably looking at $300 - $1000 per month (tax deductable), but you will have coverage for your entire family that is equal to insurance from a company. There is also dental, vision etc. The other thing that is key is disability insurance. Most financial people think this is as important or more important for self-employed people. Most of the orgs above provide disability as well.
Also, you get a better tax benefits on the health coverage if you are incorporated.
