Reply to comment by i_identify_as_natty in My husband and I owe 22k in taxes but we only made a combine total of 75k by one-eye-owl
Monthly premiums for two people would easily be 1k a month, that's just for coverage. OP shed light that they went through cancer treatment so I believe it.

That doesn't affect individual rates anymore. The insurance can charge your company a higher or lower rate than mine, but within our respective company "pools" everyone gets offered the same plans/rates.
It's one of the biggest drivers for corporate outsourcing. High wage workers demand a high quality health plan. On a $100k base the expense for a $25k plan makes sense. On a $35k salary, not so much , so now those people work for 'Facilities Mgmt LLC' which does the same non-core work but only has crappy benefits.
