    What do you guys do for health insurance?
    Looking for normal health insurance and the way these places are online I'm totally confused.

    Does anyone actually buy health insurance with a $12k deductible? Seriously?

    Anthem I believe. Went to an insurance guy to shop it. " Bronze level" .

    Never use it. Cheaper than the penalty. Stupid idea.

    $5200 a year for wife and I.

    That's pretty bad when you gotta spend $5,200 a year for something you're not going to use

    Healthcare.gov will give you a place to start......


    I've got a real plan for $850 a month for just me..... But I'm old.

    And my blue cross before the current healthcare debacle was over a thousand a month.

    And everyone says "Screw the Unions".....I betcha if you could do it all over again, You'g think hard about it.

    Paying that $600-$1000 per month for mandatory health insurance gets old real fast. I Hate it myself,

    I'm paying close to $900 a month me and 2 kids. Also have a $5,000 deductible to meet. Nothing like pissing away 17k a year , makes me sick typing this.

    For me the penalty is cheaper than a bronze plan. I see no point in paying for everyone else's health care. I can shop around for what little need I have of doctors, or should I say nurse practitioners. There are no doctors anymore.
