[quote=The-Shoveler]Wow that is seriously unaffordable,
Really have not paid much attention to this, but 12K a year sounds excessive.
I know a lot of Biz owners who get by on $35.00 a month catastrophic type insurance.
Basically you only go in if something catastrophic happens otherwise you pay out of pocket.
Hopefully that option will still be available, otherwise I guess the option is to opt out until you know something catastrophic happens.[/quote]
Seems pretty similar to what I’ve had for the last few years. Four years ago I paid right about $1,000 a month for family coverage with a $2600 deductible and a similar co-pay.
$35 a month for insurance sounds like what I paid through my former employer for crappy dental and vision coverage. If it’s for medical coverage, it might work fine for a >30 single guy that can afford a sudden $10,000 medical bill. It’s not what most families of 4 would want.
