I don't think you understand what "order of magnitude" means. You pay more than your gross salary for health insurance? If 10% is "orders of magnitude less", then you must pay at least 100%.
Also, I don't know where you are buying insurance from, but I can get insurance for about 4% of my gross salary.
- forca 12y agoGood on you, and I mean that nicely. My insurance monthly is 1/3 of my salary after taxes. Blue Cross through my employer. I tried to fall back on something from the ACA Web site, but because my employer offers insurance, I don't qualify for the better rates. Stupid rules.

I pay $35/month through my employer. > I tried to fall back on something from the ACA Web site, but because my employer offers insurance, I don't qualify for the better rates. Stupid rules. The price I can get insurance for through the ACA website is the same as the unsubsidized cost of what I get through my employer. I suspect that is because we are a small company that is not getting a break from Blue Cross. I honestly don't know if I am benefitting from being in Texas, but I can buy a gold plan for $350/month.
