Health Insurance
My company is changing up providers for the health insurance they offer this upcoming year, and the options are pretty lackluster.

I know diddly dick about trying to find private health insurance, but surely someone on here has some knowledge to share.

Where do I look? What would constitute "good coverage" in your opinion?

Any suggestions welcome.

Don't bother. The private options will either be shit or too expensive to seriously consider.

This, and only this.

Unless your company has zero employer cost share (very doubtful), you simply are not going to find a better product/price on your own. For what it’s worth, you can see how much your employer pays vs. what you pay on your W-2.

Always hate when an employer changes providers

They usually try to tell the employees its for their benefit but it's always for the benefit of the company

Well, it is for the employees benefit, directly or indirectly. You have to be competitive for whatever product you sell and non revenue producing cost like employee benefits need to be competitive to gather and retain employees, but they also need to be cost effective. If you aren't looking for more economical options on a yearly basis, you are doing your employees and company a disservice.

These guys are helpful and a better option than the gub'ment run exchanges (gub'ment = ****tards) IMO
They rank/rate based upon options customers really care about, then link you directly to the providers

Health insurance is just like football. You have to pay for the fatties because that's the market.

company provided plans are usually better bargains than private. You can compare coverage and cost including out of pocket and deductibles against your company provided coverage

If they’re supplementing it at all it’s likely better than you can get elsewhere. There is some non-insurance group cost sharing stuff that sounds a little too good to be true ish, but no way I’m doing that.

If it’s bad enough start looking for a better job.
