A little back story:
My employer eliminated insurance in 2015 and started paying the Obamacare penalty, so I signed up through the HC exchange. We got raped because we don't have kids and dual income. We went from paying about $230 per month to about $450 per month.
My wife got a new job and we were planning on getting HI through them, but we just found out we would be paying over $600/month with their contribution.
How could this be possible? It seems unrealistic that it could be that much after their contribution.
So my completely unverified theory is: HC has become so expensive that employers are purposefully finding the worst coverage so that nobody signs up through them.
Is anybody else dropping their employer's insurance?
