$6,927 a year to cover your child, $10,977 to cover your family. So just covering my daughter would cost 20% of my salary. They basically just tell us to use Florida Kidcare (Medicaid) for around $3,000 a year which is basic coverage, so I have to bring her to doctors in poor areas that will accept it. It covers hospitalizations and dental, which is what I care about having on a child. I bring her to the DOH for immunization anyways since it's free regardless of income. I know I won't have to worry about suprise bills. The extra $4,000 a year isn't worth it to bring her to high income offices for primary care.
I make the same amount that unemployment has been paying out and at just my income, I don't qualify for much of a subsidy. My daughter still would cost $400/month with a similar plan that my employer provides. Don't expect affordable healthcare if you lost your job. I've never had access to it on a teacher's salary when my husband was between jobs a lot in his 20s. We just went without because food/rent/car payments were more important. The good news is they got rid of the tax penalty. I usually owed about $1,500/year when my family didn't have coverage when my husband wasn't working.
