We have a kaiser permanente health plan with monthly premiums of $720 for a young family of four. The plan is grandfathered and it seems current similar plans offered by kaiser are in the 1k range. Last year and this year and likely going forward our earned income will be zero or very close to it.
Additionally, my wife is going to have knee surgery on May 18th, with a price tag of approx 7k. our deductible is 5500 and family OOP max is 10,500 but once hit we still are responsible for 35% of certain procedures.
Does it make sense to pursue an alternative option? would we qualify for any assistance with no income but significant assets?
thanks!
