Do Auto Mechanics get health insurance?

The answer depends upon whether the mechanic is self-employed, employed by a third-party, and other factors pertaining to their work situation.

A self-employed mechanic is not, by virtue of the type of work, precluded from buying health insurance for him/herself if he/she is otherwise insurable and can afford it.

Likewise, if the mechanic works for someone else, the answer will depend upon whether the employer offers it as a benefit of employment. Additionally, depending upon the state in which the employer is located and often, the number of employees, he/she/it may be required to maintain workers compensation insurance. This provides health insurance-like coverage for employees who are injured or who become ill for reasons that are "within the course and scope of" their employment.
