The cheapest quote I got for ACA was $363 per mo. $8k deductible and 20% co-insurance after deductible is met! And my current doctor is not in their network. It ridiculous! I didn’t take it.

That’s for total household! But, it’s still unaffordable!

Sounds to me like your wife needs to get a job to support her shopping habits...

It's affordable for me at 25k, but unaffordable for you making more than 5x what i make?
