my Blue cross blue shield plan was discontinued this year (they now only offer our plan to large groups),

Cost went up (about $1500/month), deductible stayed high ($5000), the quality went down a lot from what I can tell so far.

The new plan is so bad that almost no providers accept it around us and we have to travel 45 min to a decent doctor, but we are stuck with it for the year.

The other option is the high end plan which costs 3k-4k a month for a small family, either that or one of those Christian health plan deals which make me nervous for a few reasons (mostly just not time tested with major incidents. Also my family goes to the doctor a decent amount right now).

It's crazy that if you don't work for a company with a large group health care plan most Americans are literally not going to be able to afford health insurance or that it will take a huge cut of their income.

The system is such a joke right now if you are self employed.
