I'm self-employed with no employer benefits at all — are there any real ways to bring the cost down?

No employer group plan to fall back on since I freelance full time, so every cost here is fully out of pocket with nothing to offset it. Are there actually meaningful ways to bring this down, or am I just stuck paying full retail for everything compared to people with workplace benefits?

Also self-employed, ended up getting a private individual plan mainly for other reasons but it ended up covering a decent chunk of my ADHD costs too, worth shopping private plans even if health coverage wasn't your main reason for wanting one.
