[{"id": "dx95nc7", "text": "Last year I was on Obamacare. Was about $250/month with a $6,500 deductible. Rough. This year I was able to get on my girlfriend's policy as a \"domestic partnership\" since we've lived for each other long enough.\n\nIt's definitely a high cost you don't realize at first.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dx988na", "text": "I had Insurance when I started in the business in 2005 for about $79 a month, with a $1,000 deductible. Unfortunately they discontinued that type of plan after the Affordable Care Act and now my insurance is $450 per month with a $5,000 deductible. I was uninsured for several years, but you either have to make it a priority to pay or have a spouse with insurance. There are no cheap ways to get insurance anymore. You lose options as you start to make a bit of money and move above the subsidized levels, especially if you are single.\n\nBefore the Affordable Care Act my insurance cost me $1,000 a year with $1,500 out of pocket  before Insurance paid. Now it costs $6,000 annually and $11,000 before insurance pays anything significant.  \n\nWish I had better information for you.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
