Hey there coaches, I come to you guys (specifically to guys that coach and teach in Texas) to see who you guys go through for health insurance for your family. I have a baby coming in the next month or two, have the possibility of relocating to a new job, and I am wanting to cut down on medical costs where I can.
Right now, my wife and I are covered under the TRS healthcare plan but for just the two of us it is about $1,000 a month and with a newborn it looks to go up anywhere from $300 to $500 a month. That will depend on how much costs go up for this next year.
I have looked at going through the healthcare marketplace (healthcare.gov) and it looks like it might be the best bet. Just wanting to get your guys thoughts and advice. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I would definitely look at other options especially seeing that it is going up (AGAIN) next year.
Fortunately for me, I'm able to get by on the HD plan.

Unless your wife is not in the school system and you are able to get on under her insurance, the best bet is to go through the healthcare market place. You will still likely pay about $400-$600, but its much better than double that what you would be paying through the school.

Yeah, my wife is not in the school system and doesn't have insurance available through her job. I figured the marketplace might be the best bet considering the TRS health plans are all going up again this year. Thanks coach

If you do happen to find another alternative though, please share, as I am all ears on this front.
