    My wife and I have had this conversation trying to get services for our son with autism. I make too much to qualify for anything, but my companies insurance sucks so bad that I end up paying thousands out of pocket each month.

      Can you not simply purchase a better plan from the ACA market? Not trying to be a smart ass, just curious.

        There isn’t really such a thing as “good” in the health insurance market. It’s all varying degrees of shitty

          I would imagine you get to your out-of-pocket max pretty quick. Look for something more expensive that has the lowest OOP max maybe? Sorry that sucks dude.

        I’ve been in a similar situation and my experience was that the open market insurance was a worse rate than company insurance.
