His take home pay is about half of what he actually makes once taxes, insurance, and his small 401k payment come out. He's been forced to take a second job just to make ends meet, so he ends up working like 50-60 hours a week now, at his age. And what does he get for all that money he pays? Insurance with a deductible so high that it doesn't get met in a typical year, so the insurance is useless for anything except an emergency situation such as an extended hospital stay or an in-patient surgery. |
Is his insurance high because of Obamacare or is it just high. The company I worked for shopped around for the best deal for its employees and my insurance did not go higer from pre to post Obamacare. Actually because of the amount I use to pay went down, I put that money into my HSA account instead. Everyone experience will be different but I do wonder if people and corporation are actually shopping for the lowest best coverage.
