Our health insurance and dental insurance are close to the same as our house note: approximately $1,750. House note is more than that. We have more than $4,000 in monthly obligations just with our house note and insurance. Then we have a few credit card bills, utilities, grocery, gas, car insurance, etc...
Blimey O'Rielly. Feel like a slave to your existence, much!? That health bill is crazy to a Brit/European.
Yes, it a very high health and dental insurance plan. It's considered a "cadillac" plan. It's the plan my wife had with her previous oil and gas company. We chose to continue with it instead of getting into O'Bummer Care. The deductibles are very low. The highest we would ever pay for a deductible would be $200. For example, if my wife got pregnant again and she had to stay in the hospital for at least one night. That would be a $200 deductible.
I've seen many other peoples plans under O'Bummer Care with deductibles ranging from $2,000 to as much as $7,000 while only paying $280 less than us each month. Yes, that adds up over 12 months. However, we still get to see the doctor WE want to see. Most cannot do that under O'Bummer Care.
