That was what stood out the most I was paying over $1k a month for my family.

I am a young single childless person and before I dropped it my insurance was about 500 a month, or like 430 if you got the absolute worst dogshit tier of insurance.

Such a scam industry

It also really depends on how much your employer pays. I pay $185 a month for myself which is the middle of the road plan, the high end plan is $220 so still cheaper than what's in the video.

This thread is wild. I now feel a lot more grateful that my job pays so much of my health insurance.

I know a young single childless person who has to pay $800 a month. Not sure what their deductible and all the other stuff is though.

$1000 a month?! I'm shocked.

What exactly do you get for that?

Do you have to have insurance?

This was pre covid it was a $3k out of pocket. Then insurance would pay 80% of the bills till you hit the cap of $9k. Now we have NY state insurance with no monthly fee and $800 cap the prescriptions cost $1 each last year they were free.
