[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're a family of 4 in Northern Virginia (2 middle age adults/2 preteens) - how much are you paying for health insurance if you're self-employed / not employer sponsored?  What are your deductibles & copays?[/quote]

$28,000 + $10,000 deductible= $38,000 out of pocket per year. 100% coverage once that is met

I have one prescription that is $19,000 a month.  That would be a great plan for me.  [/quote]

What prescription is $19K a month?[/quote]

DP:  Many are like that.  Have a parent who has been on medications like that for 10+ years.  The actual med changes every few years as new ones become available.  They have a form of leukemia that is not curable but highly treatable (people live 20-30 years from it, most are diagnosed in their 50/60s+, it rarely is the cause of your death, but you must use the treatments to stay alive and deal with their side effects...basically it's a weekly "chemo pill"). The pharmaceutical companies offers some subsidies and my parent has a local organization that works to provide relief so my parent typically only pays $400/month for the meds.  without it the parent would be dead by now, and without the assistance, not sure how they would afford $15-20K/month for medication (they couldn't ) [/quote]
