+500/month health insurance payment? I heard it was more like $1400-2000 for CA startup founders and their families


Can confirm. I'm a healthy 30-something that's married with two kids in Nevada. No state income tax here, but we pay ~$1.6k/mo for what is considered mediocre-to-poor health insurance coverage.

My youngest (2.5 year old) is at the ER with my wife right now getting an x-ray (insurance & the pediatric urgent-cares all referred us to ER, no one else would x-ray <3yr olds) -- I'd guess it'll cost us at least $2-3k, assuming they say it's "not broken". Substantially more if it "is broken". Yay USA.
