(7,670 posts)that's over 100 dollars a month, not counting premiums, doctor visits, etc. when using the gold plan you are mentioning. May not seem like much, but on her income, that is a LOT, almost 10% of her costs, just for the medication copays, and that's a gold plan? Not to mention the deductibles and such.
You are talking about a gold plan, with higher premiums, and lower copays, correct?
Granted, in fairness, in our state, she qualifies for Medicaid due to income level, so she is covered, me, not so much, I make about as much as she takes in in disability, and I can't afford the premiums on a gold plan, and surely can't use a bronze plan, so where does that leave me?
ON EDIT: I should clarify, I take home about 200-300 dollars more than her a month.
