It is definitely not "cheaper" in my experience but the marketplace is definitely easy to buy good insurance through. That said, you need income to support the massive monthly payments. Family plans in the most desirable places to live can easily be $40k/year for the insurance policy before you have to cover any out of pocket expenses.
Health insurance is the "golden handcuffs" for most people staying in a job.
- toast0 4y agoGP was saying health insurance is cheaper than housing in MCOL areas. Implying if you can pay to live somewhere nice with no job, you can pay for health insurance too. Regardless, there's subsidies if you don't have income, and it's just based on income; there's no requirement to seek income. I'm near seattle, and my marketplace place for 2 adults around 40 and 1 child was around $1,200; unsubsidized.
