This forum could use an easy multi quote. :) To answer the comments, and take this more as a frustrated rant rather than a debate:
Yes, income is above $130k currently. Does that make that number (which is for a high deductible plan BTW) any less batshit crazy? Does it make any kind of sense to try to launch a business with that hanging over your head and possibly sucking you dry every month? Especially considering I could work a day job without having to drum up customers, do my own financials and processes, pay more self employment tax and only pay $140/month for much better coverage? Is this how we as Americans want the deck stacked?
In terms of how much I think I should pay, can I answer that with a real life tale of healthcare from another country? I took a trip with my wife and kid back to the old country. A few days before our son gets some kind of weird cold thing that gets really bad on the flight over with his mouth stinking, fever, vomiting, etc. Bad stuff, we get off the plane and have to go to the pediatric ER. I'm cursing my luck knowing this is gonna cost me $1k+ like it would in the US. It was $40, and BTW just as professional, maybe moreso, than in the states. I've also gotten dental work done over there, and it's exactly the same quality and experience wise as here. Except I paid $120 for a root canal, filling and tooth extraction instead of what would surely have been over $1k here. Yes I have bad luck on trips, FML. This is the former eastern bloc FFS, and we can't get our shit together in the US of A???? To answer the original question, a lot f'in less.
It seems we're at the point where it's such a disaster than any small bandaid to the massively screwed system is met with a resigned, "Oh well, it could be a little bit worse." As a drill instructor friend of mine was very fond of saying: Unsat.
