I was paying $330 in premiums for all of us with my employer. As my employer changed carriers, the premiums started going up and up and up. I was paying $1,500 a month, which was really killing me. I had to do something.
Employers almost don't want you on their plans. They are almost pushing you out.
I'm currently paying $534 a month for two insurance plans -- one is for myself under my employer and one is for my wife and child through the same insurance company but on the individual market.
I'm really curious as to whether Obamacare will save me money once I apply for the program.
