In today’s episode, I’m covering an important topic that is frequently ignored by drivers because it’s so expensive and/or confusing: health insurance. One of the reasons it took me so long to become a full time rideshare driver and blogger was I was worried about health insurance. With my full-time job, I covered my wife and myself, and as a self-employed person (which rideshare drivers are), my family wouldn’t have those protections.

Luckily, I found a company called Stride Health, which introduces people to affordable, legitimate health coverage. Stride Health makes it easy to find a variety of plans to fit your budget and your family’s needs. Health insurance is crucial for rideshare drivers, particularly because driving is inherently risky. Today, I’m speaking with Noah Lang, CEO of Stride Health. Read on to listen to this episode or read the show notes.
