Well your situation is one of three things:

Either your plan is pure chit and doesnt cover anything

Your employer is paying large portion of your health care cost

Which of the three is it?

Or you are getting an Obamacare subsidy to get it reduced to $700/mth.


My wife works for a good company.


Good for you but somebody is still paying that bill for you. It's the owner of the company. A bunch of us on here own businesses and try to do right by our employees and help provide them with benefits like the one you are getting. If the cost goes up much more than it already has in the past 7 years, a bunch of us will have to quit providing that benefit and then you'll be paying the full $2,400 yourself. I dont know how old you are but remember this. "there ain't nothing free in this world, somebody is paying the bill whether you see it happening or not."
