It's insanely cheaper doing it that way
You obviously know nothing about how healthcare plans work.

@dbeato Sorry to read
But I cannot say I'm surprised.Yeah, I have been paying for my own insurance the last two years and it is crazy.
I have been buying insurance direct since 2010. It has never been like this until the ACA.
Why do you go direct rather than through your employer?
Just, really? WTF

It’s been a while since I’ve ran numbers, if your employer is willing to truly give you 100% of your pay and not deduct their costs for the group plan, then it could make sense buying your own plan.

FFS, it is not a secret where I work or how many people work here. I've said it many times.
You do not buy group insurance for a company of 4 full time people. It simply does not happen.

Actually, I had no idea your employer only had 4 full time people.

Well we do.
And I am paid a nice hourly rate to compensate for buying my own healthcare. But that was comparative to January of 2010. I've had rate increases ($1.50 (little north of 3%) this year in fact). But it does not keep pace with this stupid ass shit.
-
As I said, above, I can pay the penalty of $2085 and come out with more than $10,000 in savings to book towards health care costs.
Even with two children we are really looking at this.

Well, I know that my employer pays an F ton, and that I pay less than $300 a month.

I know who your employer is, I didn't know the size or how employers go about insurance. I didn't know they choose not to take care of insurance costs for employees. I've seen some that do, even with small size. No way of knowing for sure, I've never worked for your employer.

I don't know all of you but based on my experience on my previous job I got almost the same deal of @Tim_G but since then I have been doing it on my own.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with the crap that JB and Scott do.
We have a high deductible plan. Company pays the bulk of it. Plan costs $4336, I pay $715.
Then, instead of having to pay the typical high deductible, the employee covers the first $2000, then the company picks up the rest from $2000 - $5250.
Toss on that because we are enrolled in a high deductible plan, we can use a Health Savings Account that we can contribute up to $3400 (2017) making that $2K deductible tax free.This is on BCBS. The included benefits are pretty decent. I'm pretty happy with our plan.

If asked, I could tell someone that you work with Bundy Associates (sp?), but I wouldn't have known it consisted of only 4 full time people. I knew it was small, just didn't know how small.

It's funny because we were talking about how Charles Manson death hoaxes were such a common thing yesterday. Then he actually died today.
