I did contracting for a while, I bought insurance with dental in 2010. It cost me about $120 a month and was comparable to my work. I did some contracting around 2015 and i bought insurance, I was paying $400 with barely any coverage. In my 2010 plan i had no concept of co-insurance, in my 2015 i also have co-insurance, also heard from my friend that when his wife had a baby, they had several doctors half in-network and half out to max out his deductible. He said same hospital for his first kid cost him around $400, second kid at 2017 cost him $4500.

The cost have gone up a lot.
