I recently joined a company after being self employed. I’m on hubs’s health insurance. We have no kids. It’s United healthcare. The company offers United as health insurance. What’s the best way to compare plans? I have not been in this situation before so apologies in advance if this is a dumb question.

Compare cost, not only in premiums but in plan design.
Deductible, OOP max, etc.
Check options on plans: PPO, HDHP, do they offer an HSA, etc.

Might want to look at the plan summary to also identify if they offer the same coverage.

Typically on the site when you sign up for a plan it will have a comparison tool.
Things to think about: how often do you go to the doctor, could you cover out of pocket limits if something catastrophic happened. HSA options

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
