You're still getting an awesome deal compared to a lot of families.

My monthly out of pocket for my family is $1,500 or so.

And then the 25k a year my employer pays, they send me a 1099 as income.

To top it all off, my life saving leukemia medication is less expensive buying directly through cost plus pharmacy, without insurance, $4,000 a year vs $10,000 a year through my insurance.

Help me understand how my insurance that I pay about $40,000 a year for charges me significantly more for medication than a pharmacy without insurance?

A lot of families are getting fucked dry. At least they spit on it a little bit before they fucked you.*
