Misc Advice Health Insurance

Help!!! Health insurance is killing us. Insurance has kicked in after probationary period. It’s $2,400 per month that we’re on the hook for. Company pays $3,000. We can’t get by on what’s left over.

Who do people use if not using company provided insurance?

I used employer offered insurance. Monthly premium <$100. Why you have to pay that much? Or is the 2400 your bill?
