While I would usually agree with a statement like this, unfortunately it has not been my experience. Our micro business is currently paying around $30k year to cover five people (four adults, one child) with a plan that only uses doctors in the BID network. This doesn’t sound too bad, until you realize that there is no way to know that this plan is so restrictive until you are enrolled in the plan. The carrier could not even be bothered to send out a welcome package or proof of insurance cards. The whole thing is a disaster.
We are changing plans to another carrier and to a plan that is more widely excepted, though the new plan is going to cost us another $538/month! It’s awful. It makes me feel like I’m Larry David living in some bizarro world. This new plan still has a $2k/$5k deductable too! Is g odamn crazy. The out of pocket max is like $20k.

I can do even better. $575/week to work Friday-Sunday. It’s salary too. You get paid even if we don’t work. Also there is health and dental to be had 80/20. A few weeks out of the year we have to work more days, but we also basically have two months off in the winter (still paid). Have to lift 35 pounds repeatedly. We set up crowd control fence for special events. Travel around the region. We buy dinner while in the road. Always decent hotels. Good crew. No yelling. Everyone is an adult.
Edit: We're based in Plymouth. DM for more info,

I don’t believe you one bit. You’re using a throw away account and not providing any supporting evidence. You are probably a troll who’s in the pocket of the “private school” people. Prove me wrong.

That’s a lot. I offer my staff a pretty decent gold level plan from the health connector and it like $290/month/man. I cover 100% though.

Find a credit union. Merrimack Vally Cu/Bridgewater CU is pretty good.

For sure. But I like to try and do right by my staff. We only have two employees opting in, the other three people are me and my family. The whole thing is out of wack. It’s even worse when you’re in the lower end of the middle class. The hill becomes very steep, very quickly.
