Talk to an insurance broker in your area. Best thing I ever did. Saved a lot of money. Allowed me to freelance and make a ton more money for years.

If you happen to be religious, check out Medical Share plans. They don't cover the minor stuff, but they will major events–including childbirth. We have two kids and my monthly commitment is considerably less than it was going though the marketplace–in the neighborhood of 1/3 less.

Oscar. But it's expensive. I'm paying like $450 now each month just for myself. And they no longer cover NYU doctors. I think next year I'm going to talk to a broker for sure.

I just have an individual plan through BCBS, pay about $350. Last year I had Harken which is part of United Health (only available in IL/GA/and another state) it was $270ish, would have kept it this year but it went up like $200. There were cheaper ones but I have an auto immune thing so I have to have decent coverage.

Following.

@CD- religious? Like go to church?

Does the Pope hook it up?

SC1 c'mon you do know how to use Google right?

Healthcare.gov, chose a mid range BCBS plan, pay around $340/month

I got mine through the obamacare exchange before going full time this year.

Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
