Reply to comment by Anstigmat in Maine insurance for family of 3 by EngineeringTop5843

>at all possible have you or your spouse get a job with healthcare.

not all jobs in Healthcare come with great health benefits. spouse and i both work in Healthcare and the best option for family is a 30k out of pocket max, terrible prescription cvg, referrals for everything and 250/500 for appts.

just being in the field isn't a Golden Ticket. do your research

No I mean, a job that provides a health plan, not specifically a job in health care.

Also, not all jobs offer a good plan either. One job I had, the offered plan would take out $400/m with a $50 copay. I was making $10/hr barely getting 40 hrs, that was my grocery and gas money. I just went without.

Yeah, there are sometimes just all bad options. I hate it.

Yup, you'd think multi-million dollar earning businesses with more than 200 employees would get a better deal at least.

What do I know, I'm just here to clean the toilets 🤷
