If you own a small family business and you employ your children, siblings, or other family members, you won’t get the health insurance tax credit for them. That’s because there is a little-known clause in the new health care reform law that disallows or severely limits that tax credit.

With your average, employer provided health insurance policy, you have a list of doctors that you may go to, or a specific clinic or hospital. If you go out of your area, even within your own state, you will pay more and your health insurance might not even pick up any of the bill.

So if you come in prepared to answer questions like your medical information, health history, tobacco usage, alcohol consumption, age, gender and the like, then shopping for rates will come handy to you.
