Honestly, how many people are gonna see a $5,000 check and decide to NOT have health insurance becuase they would rather blow the money on something. ---

but they have to use it on paying health ins…the money is made for people that dont have a employer that offers ins…shitty thing is if this happens employers will take your check and put it to what you would have to pay and you still will pay a monthly payment ---

We used to get it for free but the tax payers wanted us to start contributing. So now I pay 10% for my BC plan. However, now my wife gets a $3k buyout for not taking her insurance and the district puts in $1k each year into a flex account for us. So I am much better off paying the 10% and getting an extra $4k from the district. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/health-insurance-thread/56487.md?page=3)
