Best of luck. We are in a similar situation with my wife's employment. She worked for a large hotel corporation for 10 years and had stellar benefits. Two weeks ago the bean counters called her and the employees she supervises in and said "Merry Christmas, we're shutting down the spa as of Dec. 29th."
I am scrambling now shopping insurance. I can go back on the plan offered through my state retirement system, but adding her and my son makes the premium skyrocket. We are very light users of benefits. A couple of cheap prescriptions for my son and I and annual physicals and bloodwork are the norm. I'm leaning towards a major medical plan for all three of us. Humana One has quoted me about 700 bucks a month for all three of us with a 2K dollar deductible, 500 deductible on meds and of course, thanks to the AHCA, all preventative doc visits and blood panels paid with zero copay and deductible waived.
Vision and dental I guess we'll pay out of pocket. Most of those private plans I'm finding are so costly they're really just a sort of prepay deal anyhow.
Good luck. When one door closes, and all that sappy crap.
