I had the same experience where as a sole proprietor health insurance for a family of 5 is now $2,000/month. $24k/year not for great healthcare, but for the privilege of paying a "discounted rate" on "select services" when you actually need healthcare. We haven't needed the coverage for two years but when we did, what we needed wasn't covered so we paid full price anyway including $80 for a bottle of Ibuprofen that was casually offered to us. The markups are almost criminal. For a $1M home you can find insurance for $1,500 per year. It's exponentially less expensive. ACA was the worst possible compromise to a serious problem. A public option, universal healthcare or deregulation all would have been better options. It'd be much nicer to be able pay a doctor to make house calls as needed and waive your right to a malpractice lawsuit than to pay to support this insurance/legal/government system we have now.
