Man, that blows K. Being a diabetic as I am, that has always been one of my biggest fears in life (getting my plan canceled). Looks like it is back to the healthcare.gov salt mines for you...
Sigh...

Hope and change, my friend, hope and change.
How is paying 22,164 before you receive a single cent of benefit a help to ANYONE? It used to be someone had to file for bankruptcy for medical reasons after a catastrophic illness. Now people have to file for bankruptcy for medical reasons before any illness. While I know pre-existing conditions strain the "system", how does having EVERYONE participating not LOWER insurance costs?? To quote the late Casey Casum, "Ponderous man, ******* ponderous."
I know I'm preaching to the choir. /rant.

well looking at the site some more, if I take a 20,000 dollar pay cut, I would get a 5000 dollar discount, really debating just paying the penalty and sticking the premium monthly into a savings account and using it when needed, need to discuss this with the wife when she gets back

That's nuts K... Like the average family can afford that? Our system is truly broken.

Well the problem is if you do have a serious problem, you're screwed. As expensive as the premiums and deductible are, they're a drop in the bucket if something serious happens. My daughter had a congenital heart defect, and her repair was close to $100K. A few years ago, she had a stroke, and I think her medical care (including therapy) was probably over $200k.
