My husband and I are both self employed now and we pay 189 a month for insurance for three of us. We have a 2k deductible and total out of pocket limit of 5k per person. Bottom line if you have to go to the hospital you pay 5k. I think that is pretty reasonable. If we were to carry an HMO for three of us it would cost over 800 a month.

We get two office visits per year and drug benefits. The cost difference is worth it because we remain healthy.

I hope we get Medical Savinngs Accounts and tax credits to purchase insurance that would be great.

My husband's employer pays for his health insurance (BCBS traditional) and we have to pay for the coverage of myself and our two daughters. It currently costs us $420 a month and we were just notified the other day that BCBS is raising it's premiums another 25%. His employer is looking into other insurance carriers right now but we may have to end up finding our own. Those costs are absolutely outrageous.
