    Can you not simply purchase a better plan from the ACA market? Not trying to be a smart ass, just curious.

      When your pay is high the marketplace punishes you with higher rates and essentially forces you onto your employer plan. It’s not a real functioning marketplace

        I would imagine you get to your out-of-pocket max pretty quick. Look for something more expensive that has the lowest OOP max maybe? Sorry that sucks dude.

      I’ve been in a similar situation and my experience was that the open market insurance was a worse rate than company insurance.
