It's possible his non-profit pulled a UPS and stopped covering spouses but that doesn't make sense given the statement that they are 'unable to afford' it, implying that coverage is available but not desired. Likely the husband's plan is actually substandard for the price, as opposed to deemed substandard because it doesn't cover contraceptives. It sounds like they were under the impression that they would be able to drop his insurance (or cover him only) and get a 'better' plan on the exchange. My son has a similar opinionand I've tried to gently explain that he is more than likely wrong but he's young and doesn't like to listen to Republicans.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396671757183163171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-68290808964369086562014-01-02T17:20:03.225-07:002014-01-02T17:20:03.225-07:00Health insurance isn't cheap, but not all that...Health insurance isn't cheap, but not all that crazy expensive either.<br />I pay about $265 for two adults and two teens, bought on the open market, not through an employer. It is catastrophic, very high deductible, no copay so I pay for doctor visits. It will cover us if we have a catastrophe. If they don't have the spouse and kid covered, then to my way of thinking, they are irresponsible.<br />I can keep this plan until Dec 2014, then will have to find something else.Tom Bridgelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13098048586042365606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-83192007591016269762014-01-02T14:50:00.725-07:002014-01-02T14:50:00.725-07:00This simply cannot be.

How insulated (and thereby ignorant) can someone be if she expects a subsidy for health insurance when her family income is over $50,000? <br /><br />Is she too lazy to look up income distribution on Wikipedia? She is not poor.ErisGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383064735664269791noreply@blogger.com
