And that discount comes in handy.

Not going to lie, I feel very lucky and thankful that I have insurance through my employer. It still seems like the exchanges are complicated and stressful.

Rhetorical question…

Why does someone on welfare, who has been a leech on society their entire life, have better health care coverage than a veteran…?

Hopefully you can take advantage of some of the subsidies.  There are subsidies all the way up to 400% of the federal “poverty” line.
