Yearly premiums alone are $6720, and since DH and I are relatively healthy, we will have to pay for everything else since I doubt we ever use $11,900 worth of care in a year.
Or, we can pay $1670 per month and have a $200 deductible. That's $20,040 per year.
Yikes! I'm wondering if I can stay on my Cobra benefits forever because it's just over $1000 a month and the deductible is about $200.
Anyone else think Obamacare stinks to high heaven?
