I'm new to health insurance and was asked by someone a question I cannot answer and was wondering if someone here would know...
The situation is:
Her husband works for a big employer - formed like a union. They're currently paying A LOT for insurance. Just over $6.00 hourly is being given to subsidize this insurance per employee by the employer. The employer is proposing that if you don't want their insurance, that $6/hr can go into a 401k. Or pay another $100+ weekly for the health insurance.
The question is: Can a group of these employees form their own group and purchase like a group?
Hoping you can help....
