Did you factor in your tax credits which can be paid directly to your insurance company.

If you can't afford to spend that, then you can't afford to get sick or injured either.
Because $625 would look like peanuts when you got your hospital bill.
It wouldn't cover your admission to the ER.
Last year I had a six thousand dollar bill left over from a poor insurance policy, it was for one test.
The hospital demanded eight hundred dollars a month and if I didn't pay they would sue.
What percentage of Americans can afford to spend eight hundred a month plus the three hundred a month for the lousy insurance I had?
Now, we got old enough for Medicare, something I paid into for forty years, and I pay another hundred a month for Advantage, my husband was in for three days with a suspected heart attack.
The bill was thirty thousand dollars, our share three hundred.
If you truly were in financial difficulty you would qualify for a subsidy, in your case you might have to cut back a little on the little life luxuries. There is a difference.
