My question is specifically about the phrase and a lot more say in what kind of policy I could get to better accommodate the needs of my family.

I'm wondering where the other poster thinks they would save money vs insurance that covers things like child birth, hospitalization, emergency room visits, etc.

I was looking at a co-op alternative for 2018 - Our family premium would have been about $650/month unsubsidized, and our max out-of-pocket would have been $2500. Pregnancy is a pre-existing condition though, and co-ops are still allowed to exclude for that, so it wasn't a viable choice for this year.

Regardless, I was alluding to the fact that I have no control over my health insurance costs, unlike every other kind of insurance I purchase.
