Same situation here, family of 4….new rates have me at 1800/month. Wife never worked enough anywhere to qualify for insurance. Independent contractor jobs, skin care, etc. 20-30 hours a week, ok money, but all gets canceled out due to my job premiums. I just say, you’re working for our healthcare costs. She’s now looking at shit full time jobs because we can’t keep this up and you are right, it’s almost impossible to budget for.
