Interesting. My family plan went from $426 to $1238 per month. It's great that I get to pay for someone that doesn't have the drive to succeed so others can pay for them and their kids. Yeah, I'm speaking to you. Sorry if the facts hurt.
Work for someone else. If as a self-employed person, you are paying only $1,238 a month for full family health insurance, you're rates are not that bad.
